Şebnem CEYLAN
Contemporary Abstract Artist
Şebnem Ceylan was born in 1988 in Ankara, Turkey. She is a contemporary artist, living in Turkey.
She graduated from Bilkent University‘s Department of Communication and Design.
As she explores the relationship between human emotion, memory, and how we view ourselves internally over time, Şebnem Ceylan represents this exploration through painting layers, creating movement and creating texture; where through all of these aspects she creates the visual field representing the tension between controlled space, surrendering to the flow of creative thought, feelings of resonance and dissonance (connection and distance between two entities).
Artistic Practice
Şebnem Ceylan uses acrylic paint, mixed media, and layers to create abstract artwork where she uses abstraction as a common language with which to create visual landscapes representing psychological and emotional states of being.
Each piece is not a visual representation of objects and relationships; each piece is created through the gestures of creating, the rhythms of creating, and creating by instinct, which enables her to create a piece by organically letting it evolve into its finished form.
“I paint to create spaces where people can meet themselves without words.”
Selected Exhibitions
Şebnem Ceylan’s works have been exhibited internationally and have become part of private and curated art collections across Europe and Türkiye.
Her paintings are not only exhibited but chosen, collected and held by collectors who resonate with her distinctive visual language and emotional depth.
Over the years, her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions, international art fairs and gallery shows, reflecting a growing collector base and a consistent presence within the contemporary art scene.
