Tuna Özkaragöz

Tuna Özkaragöz was born in 1997. She graduated from Istanbul Bilgi University in 2020 with bachelors in Communication Design and Film-Television. She worked in graphic design and comics and made illustrations. In 2021, she started working with classical oil paint techniques along with her digital work. In her paintings, she depicts her life and impressions of human relationships.

The artist introduced her works to art lovers through exhibitions in Istanbul, Ankara and Paris.

In her work, she paints the figures’ expressions in their movement and gestures, through exaggerated hands and feet, rather than their faces. She consciously contrasts the figures’ emotional state and the bright colors that make up her palette. She continues her work in her studio in Istanbul.
