YASEMİN KELTEK

She was born in Adapazarı in 1959. Keltek, who graduated from Hacettepe University, Faculty of Social and Administrative Sciences, Department of Business Administration in 1979, served as a board member of 'İş Kültür ve Sanat A.Ş.' in her finance career. She completed her master's degree after scientific preparation at Yeditepe University Social Sciences Institute, Department of Plastic Arts, with her thesis on 'Self-Portrait and Selfie Association'. She studied fresco at 'Palazzo Spinelli-Firenze' in Florence, Italy. In terms of basic concepts, her works deal with the problems of time, space and the human perception of life, which is settled within these two powerful variables and suppressed by mass culture due to totalitarian governments.

The aesthetic understanding, which often contains contradictions, is expressed in plastic language through two main themes: 'Human Face' and 'Interface of Space', on the basis of a simple, effective sensation and sensing that pursues the invisible through a critical interface. Since 2014, she has been continuing her art works in her own workshop in Çengelköy, Istanbul.
