Leyla Fischer is a German-Somali artist whose work explores themes of identity and protection. Born and raised in Germany, with deep ties to Somalia, her art reflects the profound cultural contrasts between these two worlds. Leyla's latest collection, Silent Echoes, has a deeply personal narrative shaped by overcoming challenges and the search for self-discovery. Inspired by early and repeated experiences with loss and the complexities of family dynamics, the collection uses layered oil paints and images of Doberman dogs to symbolize strength, self-protection, and resilience. In 2024, Leyla debuted her new artistic chapter with this series in Paris, followed by her first New York group show in Manhattan.
