Pinar Kalem

I started my artistic journey at Istanbul University where I laid the groundwork for my passion. I wanted to dive deeper into the realms of drawing and oil painting therefore I immersed myself in experiences at New York's Parsons School.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of refining my techniques at venues such as the Steven Scott Gallery and Light House Gallery in Maryland. It was during this time that I had the opportunity to further develop my skills through intensive spatula workshops at Maison Alford in Paris, as well as in Dover and Amien.

Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to present my work in 33 solo exhibitions and contribute to numerous group exhibitions. I am grateful that my artwork has found its way into collections across both domestic and international venues, particularly in the United States and Europe.

I am continually inspired by the beauty around me and humbled by the support and appreciation I've received throughout my artistic journey.
