Face of a Woman Collection- Life Painting

Visual Artist based in California. Despite her deep passion towards art and international success (United Nations Population Fund-UNFPA Awards) in painting, the artist was forced to pursue a career in the opposite direction. However, family pressure couldn’t stop her from taking Interior Architecture education -secretly- during her college years, and many painting classes thereafter. Her art has been shown in various exhibitions since 1991. Arzu found the chance and time to get involved in art during the pandemic and displayed more than 20 paintings in Claremont Artwalk four times in four months. "Grace'' was one of the artworks selected to be shown in Fullerton Museum's "Fullerton: Art Town" exhibition in 2022. "Melancholy" came in 1st in Pomona Valley Art Association Fall 2022 show. "Life" was one of the selected artworks in Sasse Museum of Art's "SeeMe" juried digital catalogue and exhibition. "Sisterhood" is one of the Honorable Mentiones of Bold Art Open Call at artrepreneur.com. The artist explores the other 1000 women living inside her through her paintings. She believes that life is about creating yourself and she is definitely on a journey of re-creating herself. In her words: ‘I am not trying to be perfect, just enjoying the journey!” Her paintings present a combination of abstract, figurative forms and drawing. She loves the texture of cardboards and experimenting with different techniques and mediums. She focuses mainly on woman nature.
