As a visual artist Francine Baron seeks to achieve an equilibrium between figurative and abstract works.
The appeal of her images resides in the strength of their colours, their composition and the creative process used.
The artist proposes works created on the computer from her oil paintings, drawings and photographs.

The work of the artist focuses on themes of cohabitation and transformation. She seeks to merge painting, drawing, photography and new technologies.
She creates oil paintings- on canvas or paper- from which scanned details become her raw material.
On the computer she assembles digitized details from various sources, organizes and transforms them to arrive at a unique hybrid image. It is while creating the image on the computer that the artist decides whether it wil be printed on canvas or paper.
