Recent Work

My work embodies a certain spiritual power which has manifested due to my personal experiences of life & my reflection of its temporary aura. I emotionally connect through painting with the complexities & mysteries of the face as a work of art.

 

My vessel now has something almost meditative about it and it makes a strong reference & connect to the Elephant God in its shape. Its aura is the centre of energy & it radiates that , something that wasn’t clear in my work. 

 

This embodies my search for the mystical & divine without boundaries & definitions . This is nothing more than my way of telling how I feel about life, about the soul of things. 

​

Says Laila, “ I am awed by the power of Ganesh’s image & wanted to represent this deity through my art. In India & many other countries Ganesh is ubiquitous, his image appearing everywhere. Whether on village walls or cyber cafes, on trucks & neon signs. He is the provider of prosperity & the Lord of beginnings. 

 

My recent work represents a series where I have moved from oil to acrylic with a predominant use of pigment , metal , sand, & metal leaf.
