The structural way of thinking shaped by her engineering background becomes visible in her paintings through the division of surfaces and the layered construction of space.<\/p>\n<p>Her works explore fragmented perspectives created through glass, mirrors, and architectural surfaces, approaching the city not as a direct representation but as an experience of perception that is fractured and multiplied.<\/p>\n<p>She began her painting practice in 2010 at workshops affiliated with the \u201cSmithsonian Institution\u201d in Washington, D.C. Between 2018 and 2022, she studied at the\u00a0 Art Students League of New York, working in the studios of artists Ricky Mujica, Garin Baker, Mary Beth McKenzie, James Little, and Jas Knight.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, she was selected from among thousands of applicants to have her works displayed for three weeks on approximately 2,000 digital billboards across New York City\u2019s five boroughs, becoming the first Turkish artist to be featured in the project. In the same year, her solo exhibition, \u201cDistractions,\u201d was presented at the Turkevi Center in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, her solo exhibition \u201cGrey\u201d was held at Galeri Soyut in Ankara. The artist continues her practice in Ankara.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row et_full_width=\u201dtrue\u201d et_row_padding=\u201dtrue\u201d et_column_align=\u201dalign-center\u201d parallax=\u201dcontent-moving\u201d][vc_column et_column_color=\u201det-light-column\u201d parallax=\u201dcontent-moving\u201d parallax_image=\u201d3978\u2033 parallax_speed_bg=\u201d1.3\u2033][vc_empty_space height=\u201d550\u2033][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row et_full_width=\u201dtrue\u201d][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=\u201d60px\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3885\u2033 img_size=\u201d800\u00d7500\u2033 onclick=\u201dlink_image\u201d css=\u201d\u201d animation=\u201danimation left-to-right\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033][vc_column_text css=\u201d\u201d animation=\u201danimation left-to-right\u201d el_class=\u201dpreline-large\u201d] Who is Sanem Altayl\u0131?
