Artist Name

Layla Oz

Born: 1965

Hometown: Genoa

Based in: Genoa

Education
1984 - Graduated in Rome at the ISCR Institute
(Higher Institute of Conservation and Restoration)
1990 - Degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage
My works range from the female subject to the figures of children, human faces and bodies, as well seas, oceans and and sails, various styles and techniques are applied to the works.
I like to change subject and technique often so don't be surprised if you see in my catalog works performed with different techniques and style, i can't stand monotony and i think this is good, because i think it makes me discover and accept new challenges and always learn something again, this makes life worth living, flat life and series work are not for me.
I think i untangle myself quite well with pencils and watercolors, i love using natural pigments and natural glues, when i can, i prepare the colors and the base of the canvases myself with natural products, more or less the same as the old masters used.
New media also offer a great expressive potential that in my opinion should be exploited, for example in preparatory studies.
I can't stand monotony and I think this is good, because i think it makes me discover and accept new challenges and always learn something again, this makes life worth living, flat life and series work are not for me.
Good appreciation on the international contemporary art market and growing trend.
Thank you very much for your interest.
