Aylin Yavuz

Aylin Yavuz studied art at the universities of Siegen, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Istanbul. Since 2005 she has been contributing to the arts with graphics, installations and paintings.

Besides art, she also gives lectures and workshops at universities, museums and schools. She lives and works between Düsseldorf and Istanbul.

In her drawings and paintings, Aylin Yavuz integrates aspects of the present, filtered through a post-modern and aesthetic approach, leaving room for the viewer's imagination. The artist gives her paintings a certain irony and a touch of humor. She achieves this by selecting positions, associations and exaggerating the symbolism of various objects by contrasting color spaces.

Deconstruction and composition, addition and simultaneity, combination and allusion are her artistic methods. His colors appear in layers based on the idea that everything is connected, thus functioning as an indicator within the work. Shying away from any striking and dramatic effect, Aylin Yavuz tends to capture the viewer's calm and contemplative mind, but with a light heart. Aylin Yavuz eliminates the standard concept of beauty and offers through her art a different perception, beyond the criteria of conventional aesthetics.
