Abdulkadir Avci

Abdulkadir Avci is an abstract artist working through automatism and spontaneity. His paintings begin without a predetermined plan, emerging intuitively from imagination and the unconscious. He values Dadaist principles such as freedom, chance, and the unexpected, allowing each work to develop its own visual language.
