Acrylic on canvas
70x90x2 cm
Setting aside the civilization of the brush, the artist has embedded their own existence directly onto the canvas with their bare hands. By abstracting their self-portrait, they reveal a universal human experience. The intertwining of the three faces harbors both the inner division of the individual and a reflection of the collective unconscious. This texture, achieved through a brushless and tactile application, turns the piece into a relic of a physical ritual rather than just a painting. Transcending the limits of a single 'Self', this bold dance of colors stands as a silent elegy or a cry of triumph regarding the complex, pluralistic nature of being human.

Gamze Gezer Yener
Turkey
Gamze Gezer is a contemporary painter whose practice explores identity as a fluid and ever-shifting condition. Through symbolic figures, hybrid characters, and transformative visual narratives, she investigates the tension between inner emotional realities and the personas constructed for the outside world.
Her works often inhabit a space between the familiar and the imagined, where masks, fragmented bodies, and evolving forms become vehicles for examining vulnerability, memory, concealment, and transformation. Rather than depicting fixed identities, Gezer is interested in moments of transition, ambiguity, and psychological complexity.
Working across acrylic, oil, watercolor, and mixed approaches, she combines expressive mark-making with symbolic imagery to create visual worlds that move between figuration and abstraction. Her paintings invite viewers into spaces where identities dissolve, reform, and continuously negotiate their place between visibility and obscurity.
Based in Bursa, Turkey, Gezer continues to develop a personal visual language centered on transformation, emotional states, and the multiplicity of human experience.
