If you're someone who wouldn't normally describe themselves as being a fan of oil paintings, then perhaps that might all change after seeing the stunning work of Paris-based artist Francoise Nielly. We're certainly converts!
The talented French artist has been producing vibrantly colured portraits for the past 20 years - winning plaudits thanks to her ability to paint her human subject matter in such a unique manner.
On her website, the Marseille-born artist's work is described as "sexual, her colors free, exuberant, surprising, even explosive", and she seems to capture the cosmopolitan nature of French society, with a diverse range of faces appearing in her boldly-coloured portraits.
Francoise has kindly provided us with images of some of her best work. We're particularly fond of her picture of Barack Obama....
