Pinar Aytug Turkmen

I am Pınar Aytuğ Türkmen, a Turkish artist living in Dubai. My journey began in a remarkably unconventional way when one day my young son asked me to draw a portrait for him. Picking up a drawing pencil for the first time since my high school years, I surprised myself with the result. This accidental discovery reawakened a hidden talent and an underlying passion in me and I soon solidified my newfound path through the Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute.

While my practice focuses primarily on oil painting, I embrace a dynamic approach that incorporates diverse mediums and techniques. Through intense contrasts, light, and shadow, I alternate between deep, monochromatic backgrounds and vibrant fields of color to build deliberate psychological landscapes.
