Dilek Yucel

Dilek Yücel is an artist whose practice revolves around painting and drawing, encompassing a wide range of subjects such as portraiture, still life, and abstraction. In recent years, her work has increasingly focused on landscapes, particularly series that depict and reinterpret construction sites across Paris. Through this ongoing exploration, Dilek Yücel aims to document and aestheticize the city’s transformations, revealing the subtle poetry of its evolving urban environments. Her creative process often begins with close observation, collecting materials, sketching on-site, and photographing that later feed into her studio practice. The resulting works invite viewers to experience familiar spaces anew, blending documentation and imagination in equal measure.
