Vibrant Women: The Figurative art of Lilas Blano

Lilas Blano is a French artist born in 1965. After studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Reims, she briefly worked in advertising and animated film in London, Montpellier, and Luxembourg before setting up her studio in Reims to devote herself entirely to painting.

Blano is renowned for her contemporary figurative style, capturing a playful and rebellious femininity. Reminiscent of Klimts figurative portraits, her vibrant works feature women in exuberant colours and shapes. She describes her creative process as follows:

“Mistakes and reversals are always welcome, as they bring richness, spontaneity, and life“

Using bold outlines enriched with geometric and floral motifs, her subjects appear to float in a dreamy, colourful world.

Lilas Blano has exhibited her work in galleries in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States, and Luxembourg, attracting a growing number of admirers of her instinctive, singular, and vibrant art.
