Ozlem Meder Eken

Artist Biography / Artist Statement:

I am a graduate of Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics and Glass, and I completed this journey as the third in my department.

In my ceramic works, I reflect individual and social stories by focusing on psychoanalytic and sociological themes.

Based on my own life, I believe in the healing, transformative, and awareness-raising power of art. In my works, I mostly deal with stories of "me" and "us." I adopt emotional depth and an expressive attitude, where abstract expressions combine with deformations and turn into a language of expression. Through the mysterious contrast of black and white, I aim to present an original story to the viewer through the wrinkles and gaps on the surfaces.
