Destan Cevher

Destan is a 7-year-old artist. Born in London and living in New York, Destan has always been exposed to art. He started drawing before he could walk and by the age of 4, he was creating remarkable abstracts. Completely self-taught, he spends his free time drawing on the floor of his room.

Destan's art is greatly influenced by his upbringing in New York City. Bright colors and magnificent sky scrapers, real and imaginary dominate his artworks. We see crowded spaces and busy people exemplified in his drawings. Destan also examines the recent history of NYC, particularly the tragic events of 9/11 and the distractive force of hurricane Sandy. In his drawing he contemplates various turns of events - it’s an intricate exploration of fantasy and reality.

Destan’s personality, both playful and thoughtful shines through his drawings. He invites us into his world of wonder and hope. His drawings echo our dreams about the world we imagined as children - it is an enchanting promise of beauty and possibilities. Destan’s art is vibrant and magnetic and we find ourselves instantly hypnotized by its light and energy.
