Thankyou very much Paul

That command worked, but interestingly it doesn't work for standard
figure float where caption 'Figure 0.X:' by default is below the
image.

I've used from the manual:

\renewcommand{\fnum@figure}{   ~\thefigure}

  for standard figure floats to achieve the same result as your suggestion:

addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{}}

That's probably better; seems to work both with and without babel.

What remains is the rather ugly numeration format:
For example : 0.3: My beautiful painting, 2012

Is there any way to remove '0.3:' to just '3. '

I suspect that's dictated by the document class you are using. Assuming
this is not being submitted to a journal or other anal-retentive outlet,
you should check the documentation for the document class and see if
they offer any option to change figure numbering. If not, maybe a Google
search will be productive. If you're submitting to a journal and using
the document class they "request", I wouldn't screw with it, ugly or
not. Sometimes you really can't fight city hall.
