Lila’s home — the reading corner A young caricature artist at home in Paris. A book-lined reading corner joins her atelier. Bougainvillea flowers at the window; a rubber plant grows by her easel. Sometimes she reads, drinks tea or watches the sky; sometimes she paints. Her painting changes through her creative choices, without a monthly deadline. Explore the books, framed art, painting, notebook and record player, or find them in More and Sound.

PARIS / LILA’S NOTEBOOK

Finding her
own way.

Lila is twenty-four and lives in present-day Paris. She loves old paintings, myths and the cosmos, but she is still discovering what belongs to her own voice.

She paints in her own time, trying different ways to express what she sees and feels. There is no hurry to arrive at a finished version of herself. She reads in the deep chair, drinks tea and watches Paris; later, a story or a patch of sky finds its way into the paint.
