Leila Lallali is a self - taught artist from Luxembourg, currently living and working in Berlin. 

Leila Lallali is a self-taught artist based in Berlin, Germany. Born in Luxembourg in 1987, Leila grew up traveling the world with her parents and brothers, grateful to have seen faraway places, learned about foreign lands and then instilling all she’s seen into her art. Leila’s 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 likes to explore her mind in a very childlike fashion, expressing her world view very playfully yet also with a hint of sarcasm. Her work is characterized by colour and the written word; it is almost always infused with a dash of humour. 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. Ideally, they incite amusement and provoke a little smirk on the viewer's face. Aside from painting, Leila is an accomplished actor in film, tv and theatre.
