Who is Aygül Dündar? (1977 – Burdur)Born in Burdur, she completed her primary, secondary, and high school education there. She completed her undergraduate studies at the Graphics Department of Isparta S.D.Ü.’s Faculty of Fine Arts between 1996 and 2000. After completing her studies, she settled in Antalya. In 2005, she founded her own design agency. For many years, she continued her career as a graphic designer and instructor, while also pursuing her paintings. For the last 10 years, she has focused on painting and participated in various group exhibitions and fairs.Artistic Perspective:
In my paintings, I aim to reflect the traces left in me by nature, my search for inner serenity, and the peace of simplicity. In each of my works, I strive to create a simple, understandable, and sincere narrative language without neglecting aesthetic sensitivity. This approach directs me to convey spaces I see directly from my own perspective, thus making my paintings an expression of both observation and an inner journey. In my color and composition choices, I emphasize the influence of simplicity through balance, depth, and a limited color scale. This simplicity reveals both the silence of my inner world and the serene connection I have established with nature. The tree images I incorporate in my works—especially birch trees—represent a sense of rootedness, stability, and belonging. Old boats symbolize the beauty of the past, the elegant traces of memories lost to time. Birds, the sea, and the sky, on the other hand, reflect my addiction to freedom, a feeling I cannot let go of. In fact, what I reflect in my paintings is a silent dialogue I establish with nature and spaces.Selected Exhibitions and Fairs:-1st Contemporary Art Fair, Antalya 2024,
