Sema Nur Yavuz
Mixed Media
I carry out an artistic practice inspired by life, nature, and the ever-changing rhythm of emotions. In my work, I combine different techniques such as watercolor, acrylic, and oil painting to make fleeting feelings and inner stories visible.
Human faces, the quietness of nature, small details of everyday life, and sometimes my own self-portraits are the main sources of inspiration in my practice. In each piece, I trace emotions that move from calmness to intensity, capturing their subtle shifts and depth.
