Gelila reda  is a self-taught fine artist  based out of Stockholm, Sweden. She is best known for her colorful acrylic paintings and even more for her coffee art, in which she has held live paint sessions and solo exhibitions across the globe. Her distinctive style emanates strength, resilience, pain, balance, and culture.

Reda's artwork has been seen in Oslo and the U.S., including Belgium, at the Campus Croep T Leuven. Her collaborations include Gruten Oslo at Mitt grønn Oslo festival and Sagene bydelsdag. In addition, she participated in an International Coffee Day collaboration with Norsk Kaffeinformasjon, where she has performed a live coffee art show.

With over a decade of showcasing her work in exhibitions and live art shows, Reda knows the power of her art in bringing people together by expressing her reality and making change. Thus, she is taking her art to greater heights as she orients advocacy and preserving her community in paintings and coffee art. Some of her most recent paintings include "Malcolm X," "Generational Trauma," "Emperor Yohannes IV," and "Abuna Yemata Guh."
