The sculpture titled “Adalyn" by Françoise Leblond is an abstract work of art that immediately captivates the attention with its complex composition and vibrant colors. This totem sculpture, made of stainless steel and painted on both sides, stands out with a series of curved and counter-curved shapes which intertwine harmoniously, creating a fascinating visual play.

One of the most notable features of "Adalyn" is her feminine face tilted at 90 degrees. This face, luminous orange, seems to emerge from the sculpture with a striking presence. Her stylized hair, resembling four-sided leaves, features hues of pink, blue, red and green, bringing a richness of color to the ensemble. The figure's black eyes are framed by a gold thread relief, adding a touch of shine and mystery. The nose, stylized in pink, and the smiling mouth in red complete the face, giving it a warm and engaging personality.

“Adalyn" sits on a black base, balanced by two small wave shapes, one red and orange, the other black and green. This black base adds stability to the sculpture while creating a striking contrast to the bright colors of the central figure.

Françoise Leblond's work of art, whether painting or sculpture, is imbued with creativity and artistic mastery. His sculptures, in particular, are true testaments to his exceptional talent for bringing forms and emotions to life through varied materials. Each of his creations is unique, crafted with passion and meticulous attention to detail.

Françoise Leblond uses a diverse palette of materials to bring her ideas to life, and in the case of "Adalyn", stainless steel is chosen with care. Stainless steel, in addition to its durability, provides a smooth surface that allows the artist to work with precision and create fluid curves and elegant reliefs.

The originality of “Adalyn" lies in its ability to evoke real emotion. Organic shapes and bold colors create captivating visual energy, while Adalyn's smiling face communicates human warmth. Everyone can interpret this work in their own way, discovering elements of mysticism and reverie.

Françoise Leblond's inspiration often comes from nature, animals and mythologies, as well as her personal experiences and dreams. His artistic approach is to transform reality into a poetic experience, imbued with a sense of gentle mystery. His sculptures evoke characters and creatures that seem to belong to another world, inviting viewers to explore deep and unsuspected sensations and emotions.

In short, "Adalyn" is a sculpture that embodies the essence of Françoise Leblond's poetic abstraction. She skillfully combines form and color to create a work of art that awakens the imagination, arouses emotion and invites observers to delve into a captivating artistic world. Every minute detail and harmonious curve helps make “Adalyn" a work of art that can be appreciated by all who seek beauty and inspiration.

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
