Ece Altan

Ece Altan was born in Istanbul, Turkey and is now living in London, UK. Ece studied architectural restoration during university and worked on several conservation projects across Turkey. Ece's experience painting decorative architectural details in mosques, churches, museums and private residences guided her interests towards a career in fine art. In 2014 Ece joined Devrim Erbil Art Studio and developed her skills in oil painting as a studio artist. Ece's experiences as an artist in Istanbul has opened the doors to her personal practice but incompatible views about femininity, religion and social norms has left her looking for experiences elsewhere. Ece now lives and paints in South London, her work focuses on ancient mysticism, the history of gods and devils, as well as the magic they have left behind.
