Asu Ceren - Turkey
Asu Ceren - Turkey
Though Asu Ceren currently calls Germany home, it’s Turkey—Istanbul
specifically—that holds her heart. Born and raised there, she says the
environment has subtly influenced her art: “My art isn’t ’Turkish’ per
se, but there are details that can be traced back to my roots,
especially the details in the ornaments and the textures—those are
similar to Turkish scarves and rugs.” She says she didn’t even realize
that her culture was seeping into her work until it was all there.
Beyond her Turkish heritage, her work is heavily influenced by animals
and a playful sensibility.
