« Hier après-midi, je suis tombé amoureux d'un arbre. Il passe ses jours au bord d'une route départementale, à une dizaine de kilomètres d'ici. Son feuillage surplombe une partie de la route. En traversant l'ombre qu'il donne, j'ai levé la tête, regardé ses branches. Comme à l'entrée d'une église, les yeux se portent d'instinct vers la voûte. Son ombre était plus chaude que celle des églises. Une des plus fines expériences de la vie est de cheminer avec quelqu'un dans la nature, parlant de tout et de rien. La conversation retient les promeneurs auprès d'eux-mêmes, et parfois quelque chose du paysage impose le silence, impose sans contraindre. L'apparition de cet arbre a fait surgir en moi un silence de toute beauté. Pendant quelques instants je n'avais plus rien à penser, à dire, à écrire et même, oui, plus rien à vivre. J'étais soulevé à quelques mètres au-dessus du sol, porté comme un enfant dans des bras vert sombre, éclaircis par les taches de rousseur du soleil. Cela a duré quelques secondes et ces secondes ont été longues, si longues qu'un jour après elles durent encore. Je ne retournerai pas voir cet arbre - ou bien dans longtemps. Ce qui a eu lieu hier m'a comblé. Il me semblerait vain d'en vouloir la répétition. Vain et inutile : en une poignée de secondes, cet arbre m'a donné assez de joie pour les vingt années à venir - au moins.»
Christian Bobin.

As a child, and even as a young adult, the game consisted in choosing an object of experience:
an armchair, a lamp, a flower, a tree, a ray of light ... and to slip into the physical sensation of it as quickly and as intensely as possible. To manage to marry from the inside each curvature, angle, roundness, material, density, lightness, volume, dull or melodious color, vibrant, sharp or felted luminosity, cold or hot odor, forced to simplify as much as possible his personal state of being to the world in order to experience a multitude of new feelings.

These back and forth from one state to another would they be the source of Leila's intuitive, refined and minimalist work, which exploits the harmony of the arbitrary, the balance of disorder while releasing the essential ?

The artist "seeks to empty, to let go of any preconceived idea and to trust the joy of creating in the present moment."

The vibrational energy of the line, sometimes fine, sometimes thick, translates a dynamic gesture and sometimes more restrained. The palette is mainly reduced to three bright colors and those achromatic black and white, the latter obtained by the support left blank. A schematic style imbued with Japanese aesthetics coexisting with a childlike spirit that never ceases to play between order and disorder, full and empty, presence and absence, dynamic and static, real and myth .
