“Ayla combines the sensual with the geometric, bringing vulnerability and strength into a cohesive and moving piece. She brings sensuality into her work through self-portrait but also in how she incorporates natural environments. Geometry is always present in her pieces, but sometimes they are very subtle and accomplished through composition and framing. I was fortunate enough to connect with Ayla at Art Basel 2022 and soon after, I acquired the first piece she ever auctioned at Christie’s - Century of Self. ”
