Hello! I’m Zeynep, a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator. I love creating visual artwork through diverse techniques and mediums ranging from digital to traditional.

Biography

Born in 1987 in Bursa, Türkiye, I moved to Germany in 2017 and have been living and creating my artwork here since then. With a bachelor's degree in sociology, I transitioned into a full-time artist when I was 29, leaving behind a corporate career. Since then, I have collaborated with prestigious organizations and brands such as Vogue Magazine, Wacom, University of Manchester, Uniball, and more. My work encompasses illustrations, animations, paper cut-outs, and traditional artwork; and I also attend panels as a speaker or organize community events with the Cologne-based "cumming collective", which I am a co-founder of.
