French artist Francoise Nielly looks back to her first memories of colour to construct these stunning portrait pieces, sculpted with ardous energy using oil paints and a palette knife. "I have vivid images of colors, of brightness" she says, "yellow, sunshine, blue, heat, cicadas, pin smell, light...all of that classical imagery of South France is very alive as an experience inside of me. Maybe it is what led me to the use of fluorescent colors in my paintings".Neilly is equally inspired by urban graphiti, drawn to it's untamed wildness that seems to scream from her own paintings. If you're interested in seeing some more of her paintings, her website has a stunning collection.
