Büşra Çelikel — Contemporary Artist

Büşra is a painter whose practice focuses primarily on acrylic techniques, working with layered and textured surfaces. — The use of the palette knife is central to her visual language, where the surface becomes not only an image but a space shaped by accumulated time and memory.

Urban landscapes, architectural forms, and the historical textures of cities frequently appear in her work. For Büşra, the city is more than a visual subject; it functions as a structure accompanying human existence and our relationship with space. Rather than moving fully into abstraction, she transforms recognizable forms through an intuitive and personal interpretation.

Alongside her paintings, Büşra creates works on raw canvas fabric, drawing geometric compositions and Turkish motifs. Through these studies, she reinterprets traditional forms within a contemporary surface language, expanding the research-oriented dimension of her practice.

Her works prioritize atmosphere over narrative, inviting the viewer into an open, intuitive space rather than a fixed story. She continues her practice in Istanbul.
