Demet Orbay

My work focuses on expressive portraiture, exploring inner states of mind rather than specific identities. I work with traditional media such as oil, acrylic, gouache, and charcoal, allowing texture, gesture, and atmosphere to play an essential role in each piece. Through restrained color palettes and intuitive mark-making, I aim to create quiet yet powerful images that invite reflection and emotional connection.
