About

Laila Benhalima is a Moroccan artist born in Rabat. She has been recognised for a many years as having a prestigious talent which this exhibition certainly displays. Since a very young age, Laila has been living in her own world and found a way to communicate through her art. The natural world - especially the lush, fertile landscape and energy originating from her North African culture - evokes for her a personal response that is full of so much energy showcasing with her African abstract paintings, the vibrant colours, history, and imagery of one of the world’s most alluring continents. While Laila is in action painting some her most complex and beautiful pieces, she dances around «those colourful stars that cannot shine without darkness».
