zeynep is an istanbul-based self portrait artist, graduated in art history from mimar sinan fine arts university. this academic foundation shaped not only how they see and understand art,

but how they live within it.

studying the long history of the human form became the quiet beginning of a much more personal journey.

 

in 2022, zeynep entered the nft space and it wasn't long before they found their truest voice as a self portraitist. what started as an exploration gradually became a deeply personal practice;

one of reclaiming their own image, rewriting their own narrative

and discovering what it means to be both the artist and the subject.

 

zeynep's work is rooted in the belief that the human body is our sole possession; our most honest and personal form of identity. they approach nude art as a declaration of freedom and liberation;

one that gently but firmly challenges societal expectations and the stigmas that still surround the body.

every image tells a story of ownership, self-acceptance, and authenticity.

​

for zeynep,

nude art is a space where everyone is equal.

every person has a body, and when we strip away all the labels, what remains is simply "the body."

 

fun fact: zeynep's use of only lowercase letters comes from a quiet but sincere dedication to equality.

a reflection of the sameness they see and celebrate in us all.

 

zeynep's works have been exhibited internationally,

including aia paris, nua casa in são paulo, and the nfc summit in lisbon.
