Meral Erduran
Bio
As a self-taught contemporary artist, I delve into the realm of highly abstract and deeply personal art. My creative process involves a fusion of acrylic, acrylic ink, fabrics, and collages, light boxes resulting in a distinctive and unique style.
The genesis of my artistic journey was rooted in the exploration of expressive art through spirals—a foundational motif that underwent a transformative evolution in both size and configuration.
This evolution serves as a testament to my commitment to exploring the nuances of form and conceptual evolution within my work. From its initial stages of spirals to the nuanced shifts in structure and dimension, my artistic narrative speaks to a continuous quest for evolution and refinement.
