Hilal Özcan | Abstract Artist – Based in Turkey

Hilal Özcan is a multidisciplinary artist with a strong foundation in visual arts education and a celebrated career in universal cartooning. She holds a master’s degree in Visual Arts Education from Dokuz Eylul University and currently lives and works in Izmir.

Her artistic journey began with universal, thought-provoking cartoons, earning her over 20 international awards.

Today, Hilal continues her creative exploration through abstract painting — seeking a visual language that balances intuition and structure. Her works evoke stillness within movement and serenity within contrast, often inviting viewers to pause and reflect. Each painting is an invitation into quiet observation and emotional resonance.
