SİBEL KIRIK

Later she continued her higher education and graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Masters Department of Painting in 2010. She worked with prominent mentors such as Fevzi Tüfekçi, Umut Germeç and Can Aytekin at Mimar Sinan University Engraving Workshop. She had her first comprehensive solo exhibition at Simbart Projects in November 2022.  

In her recent works, changes and conflicts in interwoven or superimposed space and time can be seen in dystopian spaces; every existing thing lives its own destruction. This forces us to create a new perspective that transcends the views of the modern and constitute a distinction between culture and nature. In order to reflect these conflicts she prefers to use colour partly in a violent and aggressive structure. In the same way, in order to make the effect of chaos evident in the works, distortions and strange touches within the forms and colours become apparent The artist continues to live and work at in Istanbul.
