PICNIC Painting

Anita Savul Cen, born in Izmir, Turkey in 1994, is a multifaceted artist with a background in fashion design. Having pursued a BFA in Fashion Design at Parsons The New School for Design, she gained a valuable experience as a fashion designer before embarking on her journey as a textile designer and painter. Her artistic focus centers on the avant-garde art movement of "fauvism." Anita's work is a vibrant celebration of everyday life, where she transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary "moments" through her playful and spontaneous artistic style. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences that bring her joy, she seeks to convey the magic of these moments to her audience. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, Anita employs a traditional medium while infusing her artwork with dynamic imagery and vibrant textures that exude a sense of fun and playfulness. Her art continually explores the concept of fleeting moments, capturing the essence of life's transitory beauty. With a multicultural family background encompassing Italian, Turkish, and English influences, Anita Savul Cen's imagery masterfully weaves together a tapestry of Western and Eastern influences. Her art invites viewers into a dialogue of diverse forms, drawn from her thoughts, ideas, and experiences. Whether it's the interplay of spaces between buildings, the textures and colors of her surroundings, or moments observed during her travels, Anita's paintings encapsulate the essence of a rich and eclectic life.
