Leyla Murr

Leyla Murr’s paintings are constructed by coordinating different elements, the application of paint on canvas, the use of color, and spontaneous mark-making. The process is rarely planned and her paintings undergo many changes until she brings them to the point where they feel resolved. She creates art that explores a meeting point between reality and abstraction with a finely tuned sensitivity to color and deep fascination with the mechanism of light. Leyla invites the viewer to notice how light falls and colors interact in a world surrounding us which is the source of her inspiration.
