Pinar Selimoglu's fiery mixed media works record the reverberations of events and emotions in life. Graceful, fluid motions are recorded in sweeping brushstrokes that are then layered upon by convulsive marks and spatters. Selimoglu's work is about freedom of expression, summoning the subconscious to pour out without being impeded by forethought or planning. "I'm tuning myself into my unlimited subtle emotions through meditation and prayings and then let it go" she states. The result is an ephemeral vision brought to life, where brooding colors inflect repose while flitting strokes of crimson and ochre highlight energy in the composition.

Her process creates a stunning variety of textures and variations of color, appearing smeared, scraped and splattered onto the surface of paper, canvas or collage. Steering clear of overt representation, the stylized application of color becomes the mouthpiece of the work, speaking to audiences directly with raw intensity. Currently preparing for several group and solo exhibitions, Selimoglu's career in the arts is gaining momentum. She lives and works in Istanbul, Turkey.
