The artist, whose roots are entwined with Egyptian heritage, weaves her personal experiences, familial bonds, and the unfolding events of the Middle East into the fabric of her creations. Her art serves not only as a reflection of her identity but also as a commentary on contemporary social and political dynamics within the region.

Through this interplay, she affirms individuals' collective existence within the landscape of the world, acknowledging their unique identities while highlighting the shared human experience.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Talla's love for art stemmed from her intrigue of the technical ability to replicate what the eye sees in a painting. This has fostered her interest in realism and portraiture. While maintaining realism in her world, the artist includes her own style by emphasizing and exploring the bounds of contrast in her work, whether it be through the incorporation of abstracted colors in realistic drawings, the absence of backgrounds with highly detailed subjects, or the combination of opposing matters. While some choices may be odd or confusing, the final results exude calmness and balance through the canvas.
