Co-operative by Simge Cetin in Tbilisi

I am a multidisciplinary visual artist with a strong background in fine arts, printmaking, illustration, and mural painting. My artistic journey began in 2013 with a four-year education at İzmir Işılay Saygın Fine Arts High School in Turkey, where I was trained in classical and contemporary art techniques. Prior to that, I studied under some of Turkey’s most renowned artists, refining my skills in drawing, painting, and composition from an early age. Throughout my career, I have explored various mediums, including printmaking, painting, mural art, sculpture, and mixed media installations. I am particularly drawn to symbolic and psychological narratives, integrating deep conceptual elements into my work. I specialize in monoprint, linocut, and gravure techniques, and I also experiment with eco-printing on textiles and personal objects. My artistic philosophy is rooted in a fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern storytelling, allowing me to create pieces that resonate both visually and emotionally. Whether it’s an intricate book illustration, a large-scale wall painting, or a sculptural installation, my goal is always to evoke thought and emotion through my art.
