Layer I Sculpture

Aysegul Armay was born in Istanbul, Turkey. She received a BS degree in industrial engineering and continued her education in the field of management in the USA. While continuing her engineering career in aviation, she decided to pursue her great passion since childhood and began to learn basic and old painting techniques by taking private lessons. As she used different materials in her works, she saw that the paper was the most suitable medium to express herself. She states that “The fact that the paper is tactile and creates a sense of visible depth has helped to create a three-dimensional form in my paintings”, and she reflects traditional art forms on objects by interpreting them from different angles. In addition to giving importance to visuality in her paintings, she always aims to question the consciousness of the audience by emphasizing that the starting point is the idea. She emphasizes that doing research on the subject before painting an idea increases the excitement. She also aims to use color, texture and symbolism to portray the feelings of desire, fear, faith, love and hate, as a result of the conflict between the spiritual ego and social ego.
