63x53cm, Acrylic on canvas

Leyla’s paintings are constructed by coordinating different elements namely, the application of paint on canvas, the use of colour and spontaneous mark making. The process is rarely planned and her paintings undergo many changes until she brings them to the point where they feel resolved.

Leyla creates art which explores a meeting point between reality and abstraction with a finely tuned sensitivity to colour and deep fascination with the mechanism of light.
