Central to Nahla’s artistic expression is the exploration of human emotions and experiences through her unique perspective. She delves into the intricacies of life, documenting emotions and experiences while crafting scenarios and situations to construct her own artistic world. Her work often grapples with psychological challenges, employing dark motifs and symbolic imagery to represent the complexities of the human psyche.

In her paintings, Nahla frequently incorporates squares and cubes as symbolic elements, which serve as both a visual escape and a commentary on societal taboos and constraints. These geometric forms, infused with vibrant colors, evoke nostalgic memories of childhood, underscoring the enduring impact of our formative years on our adult lives. Through intricate mazes and layered compositions, Nahla invites viewers to navigate the complexities of existence, prompting contemplation on themes of choice, mortality, and the human experience.
