Alea Pinar Du Pre is an internationally established mid-career artist currently living and working in both Amsterdam and Istanbul.

Du Pre has been continuously developing radically new and innovative approaches to painting in which she mixes digital art with ‘the real world’. Active since 2008 her works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows as well as art-fairs throughout the US, the UK, France, Belgium, Austria, Turkey, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, etc. Her works are part of significant private and corporate collections like Ferko Holding, Sabanci Holding, Koc Holding, Bora Collection, Odeabank, ICBC Bank and many more. ​ "My endless questioning the nature of our existence stems from an insatiable curiosity and an unfathomable love for truth. I believe in the sacredness of the human experience. Art is a canvas to mutate my curiosity into a form I can share – to transfer scientific curiosity into pictures - to give form to the formless.”
