Frederica Henrieta Lecornu

Living and working in the United Kingdom, Frederica Henrieta Lecornu brings together an unusual combination of artistic intuition and technical discipline. With a background in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design, her practice reflects a strong sensitivity to structure, balance and material construction. Her paintings move between figuration, symbolism and abstraction, creating dreamlike spaces where bodies, flowers, birds and gilded surfaces coexist. Gold is not used simply as ornament, but as a visual thread that connects movement, memory and emotional presence. Across this selection, Frederica Henrieta Lecornu explores states of reverie, vulnerability and transformation. Faces appear partially concealed, bodies dissolve into colour, and natural elements become extensions of an inner landscape. Her layered surfaces, luminous palette and recurring use of gilding give the works a tactile, almost suspended quality. At their strongest, they balance softness with control, allowing fragility and precision to occupy the same pictorial space.
