Art critic and curator Aindrea Emelife wrote about Lilia's work:
"The ethereal beauty of Lillia's fantastical gardenscapes is mixed with a loose Impressionist technique, as brush marks seem to fall off the canvas. Allow earthly splendour to fill the room with dreamy romance and a distinct Japanese calligraphic influence."

Her recent work reflects on the artist's progression to looser and freer brushwork, expressing her own emotive intuition.

While these pieces are anchored in figurations they are no representational...
