In Laila's artistic practise, she explores the intricate connection between moments and food. Her primary objective is to capture the essence of those seemingly insignificant pauses—like the hurried stop at a gas station during a road trip where the contemplative moment of selecting snacks takes over, or the nostalgic act of choosing treats for a movie date. These instances, such as stumbling upon your mom's favourite candy at a convenience store, are laden with a unique sense of time and memory.
Laila Bloomstone is an emerging artist based in Toronto, Canada. She graduated from Western University in 2024 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in Studio Art.
Laila's art embraces realism through acrylics. From afar, it's photographic; up close, details emerge in brushstrokes. Each piece reflects her unique perspective, captured through iPhone references.
Laila’s work has been showcased in various notable exhibitions, including the Annual Juried Exhibitions in 2023 and 2024 and her final thesis show, Sincerely, at the ArtLab, London, Ontario. Her painting George's is currently on public display at George and Corey's Foodmarket in London, Ontario. She was awarded the Western Hospitality Award for her painting “Can’t Make a Decision”. In 2024, she exhibited her work at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair in Nathan Phillips Square. Her piece Tasting Colours is featured in the TOAF63 Collection Hot Town - Summer in the City. Laila is currently showing at Deco Gallery in Toronto and has been juried into The Artist Project 2025.
