Aylin Tektas - Capturing the Moment
Aylin Tektas, an Istanbul born painter, studied in Vienna at the Academy of fine arts. First influenced by the artworks of her mother - a painter as well - she started painting portraits of people. But within her development the people more and more vanished and what remained in her pictures were the rooms the people were placed in - the interior.
Interior for Aylin Tektas is not only the remains of what is left when the people disappear - tables, chairs, beds, mirrors. With her interiors she catches certain moods - the silence of a hot summer afternoon inside the room when the windows are closed, or a view through a door where you see a chair that the person just left. Her pictures create existential feelings of being alone, of having time to think, of reflection.
For our artist portrait we visited Aylin Tektas in her home in Istanbul as well as in her Viennese atelier - and she gave us an interview about her work and development.
