Cigarette Painting

Elif Çimen, born in 1993, is an artist based in Istanbul, working primarily in watercolor and acrylic. On the one hand, she tries to convey the sense of orderliness that this irregularity gives her with his acrylic works, without knowing whether she is successful in creating an order or not; with the lack of irregularities in her life, the fact that she has not been able to create her own space. On the other hand, the contradiction of wanting to keep the flow in her life and trying to control it has caused her to work on a new watercolor technique for years, and she is still working on combining it with her portraits, still discovering the details of this technique.
