"Layla - from the Illustration for the Red Cross features a character depicted in a style that blends elements of Art nouveau (modern). The painting’s flowing lines and ornamental details evoke the organic aesthetics typical of this Art nouveau movement, while its dreamlike composition and surreal quality resonate with Surrealism. As an illustration, it aims to tell a story, capturing both the innocence and resilience of its subject, and reflects the social consciousness associated with the Red Cross mission."
