Born in Ankara in 1999, she studied painting at Ankara Fine Arts High School.
She studied at the Félix Ciccolini École supérieure d'art d'Aix-en-Provence in France between 2021 and 2022. She graduated from the Painting Department of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in 2023. She is among the 5th term artists of the Art for Good Association's "A Year in the Passage" project. For approximately a year, she has been leading the workshops "Passport Intervention" and "Photo Intervention." She works as a stage painter at the Ankara State Opera and Ballet. She continues her work in her studio in Ankara.
Her works are primarily in oil painting, blending various techniques such as watercolor, photo intervention, digital collage, video manipulation, and installation with an intuitive touch in a symbolist-expressionist style. In her creative practice, the body, identity, and the individual's sense of self, which she considers to be in a constant state of transformation, are the primary focus of her works. Drawing on her personal experiences, she explores the possibilities of liberation and reaching the true self through self-portraits, drawing on mourning, fragility, memory, various power dynamics, and human states.
The work, which reveals the changing facets of the self over time, brings together self-portraits produced by the artist using different techniques in different periods within the same atmosphere. This formal diversity reveals not only stylistic change but also the ever-changing and evolving nature of identity.
The work invites the viewer to a silent inquiry into their own transformation.
