Ebru Duruman’s abstract representations unveil the dynamic interplay between the physical and emotional realms. Through her art, she portrays sexuality as a conduit connecting the body and the mind. Each element within Duruman’s creations serves as a means to assert autonomy and embrace authenticity, giving rise to captivating imagery results from the fusion of abstract and figurative art. In her works, figures transform into self-portraits, shedding light on her introspective examination of her body and sensory experiences. Although distorted forms initially seem to contrast with the vibrant colour palette, they – along with the juxtaposition of aggressive brushstrokes and controlled fluid lines – provide insight into the artist’s internal conflicts.
