Throughout her career, Laila has been involved in a wide range of creative projects across Essex and beyond, allowing her work to resonate with diverse audiences.

Her artistic journey has evolved through many phases, moving beyond just canvas work to exploring the human face. With five years of experience as a makeup artist, Laila’s keen eye for detail, color, and blending is evident in her artwork.

Laila’s creativity is deeply inspired by both external influences—such as the people she encounters, her travels, nature, and her studies—and internal reflections, particularly the transformative practice of meditation. This blend of external and internal inspiration fuels her art, driving her toward intuitive and expressive compositions.

Her abstract pieces, in particular, evoke a wide range of emotions, from peaceful and calming to energetic and joyful. The movement, texture, and color in her work invite viewers to embark on an emotional journey, making each piece an immersive experience.

Years of study and artistic exploration have given Laila a unique, personal approach to her craft, one that continues to evolve. She creates in a contemporary abstract style, primarily using acrylics, spray paint, and emulsion for both canvas works and murals.

On her artistic path, Laila remains open to new opportunities and discoveries, finding joy in the process of creating art that comes from her heart and soul—pieces meant to enrich and beautify your spaces.
