Dagher Leyla | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

The artist loves to take photos old houses in the old parts of Beirut. She uses them to create subtle urban landscapes that are scribbled and painted on with rich detail and colour.

Acrylic, collage, pastel and felt tip pen go into creating the harmonious and textured paintings that waver between figurationand abstraction.

The artist's vision? She wants to pay tribute to her city's unique architectural diversity that is gradually disappearing due to ever-increasing urbanisation.
