A beginning
One year with a brush
Işıl picked up a brush a little over a year ago. In that short time she has moved restlessly between mediums — the patience of pen and ink, the weight of gouache, the quiet of watercolour — trying on a different voice with each painting.
She paints alongside her studies, where she ranks near the top of her class. The same attention shows up on the page: careful where it needs to be, and fearless with colour everywhere else.
One year in, and already a dozen ways of seeing.
