MAKING ART SPONTANEOUSLY
It is through art that we communicate what it feels like to be alive.And when you ask me "What is the point of art?" I would answer : "What is the point
of human beings?"
Leyla is a prolific artist who engages colour in all her work. During her engagements with educational establishments, Leyla has nurtured her independence and artistic freedom and paints spontaneously from within: expressing a fragment of feeling, a memory or an impression.
She likes to capture a brief moment rather than a complete detailed narrative and in doing so , allows the viewer to be proactive.
Her work can be viewed in a number of reputable galleries in UK, private collections in USA, Spain, UK, Norway and Switzerland.
She enjoys gallery exhibitions where she can meet her potential customers. She is happy to paint for specific projects and has painted abstract portraits, abstract paintings for use in specific outlets, successfully, without compromising her own creativity.
Her work has received some excellent reviews from Saatchi on line Gallery , she has been chosen as an artist of the month on several websites.
Her work is currently being shown in seven galleries all over Europe.
