The elements repeat and overlap, creating an effect of movement and dynamism, as if the whole was dancing to the rhythm of the party. The vibrant yellow background of the canvas evokes a source of pure energy, propelling the visual story to heights of creativity.

At the bottom of the painting, a dark green band extends like a stylized river, overlooked by a red bridge with twenty arches. On this bridge, stylized and multicolored trees stand, also seeming to participate in the party. Starting from the base of the painting, a light blue arch rises diagonally halfway up the canvas, creating an element of movement and progression.

Fantastic creatures, the protagonists of this artistic celebration, occupy the entire painting. They feature varied shapes and colors that make them unique and entertaining. They appear to be a hybrid mix of animals, plants and objects, expressing a range of emotions from joy to surprise, love to curiosity. Some are held in groups, others in couples, creating a dynamic of festivities and rejoicing.

At the heart of her paintings from the “Poetic Abstraction" series, Françoise Leblond deploys a personal and unique artistic touch. It opens a door to imaginative exploration, inviting viewers to escape into a world where shapes, colors and creatures unite for a solar dance. Leblond's work radiates cheerfulness and positive energy, inspiring the audience to join this visual celebration.

The entire work of Françoise Leblond is an ode to luminosity and jubilation. She manages to create a festive atmosphere around her tender and eccentric creatures, who, through their artistic benevolence, invite spectators to immerse themselves in their captivating world.

Françoise Leblond

France  • 1952

Françoise Leblond is a French painter and sculptor, member of the Taylor Foundation. After studying art at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and a diploma in interior architecture at the Académie Charpentier in Paris, she learned the techniques of faux wood and faux marble at the École Blot in Reims, as well as as the art of trompe l'oeil and wall frescoes at IPEDEC in Pantin. She worked as a decorator for architectural firms and for entertainment before devoting herself fully to painting and sculpture in 2002, the year in which she created the Elvina gallery workshop. Since then, she has exhibited her work in France and abroad, with works present in public and private collections.



Artistic approach:


Françoise Leblond, painter and sculptor, is distinguished by an artistic approach that fuses imagination and reality, thus creating a universe where the border between the concrete and the abstract blurs. His works, whether paintings or sculptures, are imbued with a singular aesthetic that invites reflection and escape.


Françoise Leblond's “imaginary realism" paintings reveal a metaphorical quest for reality beyond its tangible appearances. His paintings, imbued with a captivating aesthetic, depict a universe where the strange and the marvelous mingle in a dreamlike dance. Through evocative shapes and suggestive colors, the artist invites the viewer to introspection, to a reassessment of their own perception of the world.


With her “Poetic Abstraction Paintings", Françoise Leblond transports us to a space where color and form unite to evoke pure emotions and a contagious joie de vivre. His fantastical creatures and abstract landscapes are an ode to spontaneity and creative freedom.


His “Poetic Abstraction" sculptures are manifestations of his fertile imagination and technical mastery. Each piece is a celebration of form and space, where the artist plays with materials to bring emotions and stories to life. Françoise Leblond uses materials such as aluminum or stainless steel to create works that are both modern and timeless.


In her paintings “Grands Maîtres revisited" Françoise Leblond plays with the rules of classical and contemporary art with a unique sense of aesthetics With discretion and audacity, she revisits the paintings of great masters to give them new life, thanks to her pictorial technique. She manages to create works of art that are both funny and poetic, while maintaining high standards in the quality of her work.


In her paintings “Anthropomorphic Cats" Françoise Leblond has an innate talent for transforming cats into funny and endearing anthropomorphic characters in her paintings. It gives them a unique personality and endows them with human gestures and behaviors that are both amusing and moving. She paints cats with freedom, without constraint or concern for realism, and this freedom is contagious. She manages to capture their curious nature, their grace and their undeniable charm.

Françoise Leblond was able to create a real world of cat sculptures that reflects her personality and her love of life. Through her stylized cat sculptures, she manages to convey pure and sincere emotion. Each of his works is unique and exudes a singular aura that invites the viewer to let themselves be carried away by their imagination.


Françoise Leblond's sculptures are imbued with a universal language that speaks to all generations. They evoke primary emotions like tenderness, joy, wonder, surprise and curiosity. They are the reflection of an artist who is part of an ancient tradition where art is considered a form of direct communication with the soul of man
