Francine Scialom Greenblatt (born 1951 Cairo, Egypt) is interested in sharing a private universe in the most compelling, painterly manner. At the core of her work, FSG sees eroticism not simply as a sexual activity, or as the biology of reproduction, but rather as a psychological quest.
Her MA thesis, entitled ‘Open Diary: Biography/Autobiography as Historical Context’ describes the dynamics of perception and the imperative for a visual language that reflects her multicultural and linguistic heritage. As a self-proclaimed artist/voyeur, hers is an invitation for the viewer to become an active participant, bound in the hope of shared experience. Bodies of work over the years, containing both figurative and abstract elements, combine the carnal and the spirit with sociopolitical acumen.
"As an Artist-Painter-Voyeur, I explore the Inter-Personal, using figurative and non-figurative means to make images that resonate on many levels. My challenge is the loss of the Private when made Public."

FSG has had solo shows in Paris, New York and Cape Town and is represented internationally in many private and public collections. She lives and works in London.
