About

Born in Niğde in 1996, the artist grounds her artistic practice in her personal connection to Anatolia, geographical memory, and the spirit of place. By combining her early training in painting at a private studio with her education in architecture, she has established a strong academic and structural foundation for her artistic practice. The honorable mention she received in a competition themed “Migration” in 2015 marked an important milestone in the early stages of her artistic journey.

In her work, nature is approached not merely as a landscape to be depicted, but as a living space where Anatolia’s cultural layers, personal experiences, and collective memory converge. The artist translates the geographical traces of her native Anatolia, to which she maintains a deep connection, onto canvas. Drawing on the textural richness of oil paint and gouache, she embraces a Romantic-Realist style. She combines the spatial understanding gained through her architectural training with meticulous pencil sketches, giving each composition a strong sense of structural coherence. Through dramatic storm clouds, golden wheat fields, and wild pear trees (*ahlat*) emblematic of the Anatolian landscape, she evokes an atmosphere of nostalgia and tranquility.

Since 2022, the artist has continued her practice at her studio in Kartal Kordonboyu, Istanbul. Through the workshops and corporate collaborations she organizes, she has guided more than 600 participants in their creative journeys to date.
