Pinar Akbaba

Was born in 1981. Graduated from Istanbul University, Faculty of Economics in 2002.
In 1988 had started atelier study from Hasan Kavruk. Then continue to have atelier studies from several reputable artists.

Life is a road that we get lost sometimes. While walking in this road, we face with rules that we have to obey. Rules for what, for whom? Have to obey them? Better to build our own road and keep walking on it.
The main theme of my artwork is being free; escape from the rules that social life built for us, living this life as how we wish and to articulate the dilemma between reality and the dream world that I would like to build. I prefer Abstract as a style because it allows me freedom to express myself and the energy I feel onto the canvas through the colors. This helps me to equalize my soul, body, consciousness and subconscious. At the end this brings the spirituality.
