Layla Abdulhadi is a realist oil painter based in Oakville, known for her refined still-life and nature-inspired works. She is drawn to quiet subjects—fruits, objects, natural elements—and uses patient observation and layered technique to present them with clarity, balance, and honesty. Her paintings focus on light, texture, and the subtle details that give everyday objects a sense of presence and calm.

Layla approaches realism as a way of seeing with intention. Through careful study of form and color, she transforms simple subjects into thoughtful compositions that invite viewers to slow down and appreciate the beauty found in ordinary moments. Her background in design influences her clean compositions and thoughtful use of space, giving her work a gentle, harmonious character.

Alongside her artistic practice, Layla shares her love of realism through teaching. She is passionate about helping others develop confidence, understand technique, and enjoy the creative process.
