LAYLA JAWHAR …
SOLID ATTACHMENT TO THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT
The Saudi Plastic Artist, Layla Jawhar, is by virtue of her nature attached to the local environment. She exerts effort to analyze her environment and tries to reshape it not as it appears in practice but based on her own perceptual vision. Perhaps she aims at embarking at results which are deep rooted in Layla's subconscious as may be similar to a dream or a nightmare or a magic glance.
In the light of the foregoing, she may not depict the desert with its geographical features but she embodies it by the magnitude of its colours and simplicity of its components as well as its clear boundaries. This clarity which is fair by its innate characteristics reflecting the desire to rest and to feel tranquility, is the thing which draws the first glance of Layla. However, this diverts to a different course leading to the desire in formulating figures. The reality of her panel indicates an irresistible desire to introduce unprecedented work to act as an oasis in the soul's desert or a torch casting light in the darkness of solitude & loneliness. I presume that this aspiration of a Saudi artist who strives to revive the ancient glories of his/her people in contemplating about civilization concepts, does not only converse with reality but also attempts to retain it.
