Engin Adeka

Adekan’s artistic journey began during his teenage years with graffiti and street art. The city’s stark urban texture sparked a lasting interest in the relationship between space and the individual. Over time, this raw and direct form of expression evolved into a more figurative and conceptual practice, exploring how the body and the spaces it inhabits shape one another.
