The Journey so far...
French Contemporary Artist | Original Fine Art & Bespoke Commissions
Welcome to my artistic world, and thank you for your interest in my work.
I'm Christine Bleny, a French contemporary artist based in West Sussex, England.
Painting has been my passion for over 30 years. What began as a personal journey of creativity has developed into a lifelong dedication to art, allowing me to share my imagination, emotions and love of beauty with collectors around the world.
My artistic style brings together realism and abstraction, combining vibrant colours, intricate details and the captivating luminosity of coloured metal leaf.
Working primarily with acrylics and coloured metal leaf, I create original artworks that interact with natural and artificial light, revealing changing reflections, textures and depth throughout the day. This distinctive technique gives each painting its own character and atmosphere.
My Artistic Vision
My aim as an artist is to bring beauty, positivity and a sense of wonder into people's lives.
Nature has always been one of my greatest inspirations. From enchanting forests and delicate flowers to majestic wildlife and mysterious underwater worlds, I seek to capture not only what we see, but also what we feel.
Through my paintings, I hope to create moments of escape, tranquillity and happiness, inviting viewers to pause, dream and reconnect with the beauty surrounding us.
My work also reflects my deep appreciation for the natural world and my desire to raise awareness of its fragility, particularly endangered wildlife and marine ecosystems.
I believe that art should do more than decorate a wall. It should evoke emotions, awaken memories, inspire imagination and transform the atmosphere of a space.
Every painting tells a story, and my greatest reward is knowing that my artwork has found a place in someone's life.
My Artistic Journey & Achievements
Over the years, I have had the privilege of sharing my artwork with collectors, galleries and corporate clients internationally.
Some highlights of my artistic journey include:
-
Over 30 years of artistic experience.
-
More than 600 original artworks created.
-
Over 250 paintings sold internationally.
-
30 paintings acquired for the Huawei Art Collection.
-
Creation of a remarkable 14-metre underwater artwork in China.

-
Experience working with private collectors, corporate clients and international art projects.
-
Artwork exhibited in the UK and internationally, including Paris and Art Basel-related exhibitions.
Each achievement represents another chapter in my artistic journey, but my greatest motivation remains the joy of creating and sharing something meaningful.
Art for Exceptional Interiors
"I create original, light-responsive artworks that bring colour, atmosphere and individuality to exceptional interiors."
Beyond private collections, I welcome opportunities to collaborate with interior designers, architects, hospitality businesses and property developers.
I believe that a carefully chosen artwork can become the soul of an interior, creating a focal point, establishing an atmosphere and giving a space a truly individual identity.
Whether for an elegant private residence, a luxury hotel, a restaurant or a corporate environment, my paintings can be created to complement the character, colour palette and vision of each project.
What I Offer
Bespoke Commissions
Original artworks created to complement a specific interior, colour scheme, atmosphere or creative concept.
Statement Artworks
Large-scale paintings, striking focal pieces and multi-panel compositions designed for hotels, restaurants, reception areas and distinctive private interiors.
Curated Collections
A selection of complementary original artworks that bring harmony, continuity and individuality to residential or commercial projects.
Let's Create Something Beautiful Together
Whether you are an art collector looking for a meaningful original painting or a design professional searching for something distinctive for your next project, I would be delighted to hear from you.
My ambition is simple: to create art that brings lasting beauty, emotion and inspiration into the spaces where we live, work and connect.
Thank you for being part of my artistic journey.

Contemporary Fine Artist – West Sussex, England
I recently sold an entire collection of large marine-themed paintings, to a single collector from China!


Several of my paintings have been sold through the well-known Saatchi Galleries Online, including one to an LA celebrity singer.
I have designed and created several CD and Album covers for the “Bueno Vista Social Club” This is an ensemble of Cuban musicians established in 1996 to revive the music of pre-revolutionary Cuba.
In 2017 I had the honour to be mentored by an Italian artist Lorenzo Chinnici and to be part of his exhibition “Open your Art”.


My entire output sums up to over 10,000 hours of work, resulting in over six hundred completed paintings! You can see many of them here for yourself, covering a wide range of styles and subject matter.



I've recently donated 2 paintings to Queen Victoria children's ward to brighten up the childrens stay on ward.

"I really love how they kids react when they see a beautiful painting full of colours. Their eyes brighten, I can see the happiness and that makes me happy".
