About Artist

Ciler Yildiz

Based in Istanbul, she began her artistic journey with watercolor before expanding into acrylic, oil painting, and, more recently, photography. Drawn to multidisciplinary expression, she enjoys working across mixed media, exploring emotion, texture, and the immersive power of color. After leaving corporate life six years ago, she dedicated herself fully to her artistic practice and participated in group exhibitions through institutions including Beysem and Baruthane Sanat. She also joined watercolor workshops led by Sinan Balta and Ercan Paya, taking part in accompanying exhibitions. In May 2024, her watercolor works were exhibited at Awita New York Studio in New York City. Deeply connected to nature, she continues her practice from her farmhouse in Istanbul, where respect for the natural world remains at the heart of her work and daily life. Inspired by cultural diversity and human stories across different geographies, her recent photographic work explores both urban and rural life, capturing the richness, contrasts, and shared emotions found within different cultures.
