Canto - Songstress Series

Canto Songstress Series by Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin is a vibrant visual tribute to legendary Turkish canto artist Nurhan Damcıoğlu. Inspired by her dynamic dance figures and iconic lyrics, this series channels feminine vitality, satire, and empowerment. Infused with the spirited energy of Seyfi Dursunoğlu—another unforgettable figure of Turkish stage—the works merge Expressionism and Fauvism through bold, vintage-inspired palettes and assertive brushwork. Each painting captures elegance in motion and invites viewers into a transformative aura of rhythm, strength, and celebration.
