Leila Lallali

Leila Lallali, born in Luxembourg, is a self-taught artist based in Berlin, Germany.

Leila likes to explore every day things like food and fashion and find a humourous twist to them; almost like an ode to childhood where imagination soars and the world doesn’t need to make sense. Her work is inspired by travels, may they be real or imaginary.

Her paintings are playful and rich in colour and her practice likes to oscillate between the figurative and the abstract, the undefined.

Leila’s work is characterised by colour as well as the written word and is almost always infused with a dash of humour and a hint of sarcasm.

The artist would like for her work to exist as a counterbalance to the sometimes grim realities of life and inspire the viewer to contemplate the beautiful and ultimately celebrate life, encourage folly. Ideally, they incite amusement and provoke a little smirk on the viewer's face.

Mostly self-taught. But...
