PROFILE
プロフィールContemporary visual artist, born in Turkey, based in Tokyo and Sydney.
Creates semi-abstract works on paper using watercolour, gouache, and ink, characterised by playful colours, fluid forms, and layered textures. Themes explore migration, displacement, and resilience, drawing inspiration from the common narrative of "Exodus" and personal and family experiences. After returning to painting in Sydney, she has been fortunate to receive several awards and be involved in several projects in a relatively short time. These experiences have greatly encouraged her to engage more actively in both national and international platforms. Active in exhibitions, art fairs, workshops and collaborative projects in Japan/Australia and abroad.
