ÇIĞDEM AKY

Çiğdem Aky’s rhythmic paintings explore the interplay of colour, structure, depth, and light. Working through an intuitive process of layered paint application, she creates expansive colour fields in which tonal shifts, surface, and composition become the primary focus. Balancing geometric structures with gestural brushwork, Aky approaches painting as an open-ended experiment, investigating the material and perceptual possibilities of colour. Her compositions resist figurative interpretation, instead focusing on the interaction of form, tone, and spatial depth. Whilst firmly rooted in abstraction, her paintings are informed by her observations of the natural world, subtly evoking landscapes, shifting light, and fleeting moments of the day through nuanced colour relationships.
