Ayse Akay

I am a contemporary abstract artist based in Kent, England. Originally from Turkey, my artistic journey began as a personal way to process life experiences and gradually evolved into a full-time professional practice.

Working primarily with acrylic, mixed media, and metallic details, I create vibrant geometric abstractions inspired by the relationship between structure and spontaneity. Influenced by my background in mathematics, I explore balance, rhythm, memory, and human connection through interconnected organic forms and bold colour.

Each painting is an invitation for viewers to discover their own stories and emotions within the composition. My work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally, and I continue to develop a distinctive visual language that combines precision with intuition.
