:about me:
:hi! I’m Adyali. I was born and raised in Istanbul, and I currently live and work from my home studio in Eskişehir. My creative path began with a deep fascination for languages and translation.
Over time, I realized that visual mediums; painting, photography, and performance, they offer an even more expansive syntax to explore the human experience beyond spoken words.
Driven by a desire to break away from traditional, sterile gallery systems, my early work focused on public interventions like Insargi (2021) and Hang Me (2023), where I brought my paintings directly onto the streets of Istanbul to create unmediated, organic encounters with the public.
Today, my core focus has expanded into independent cinema. As a self-taught filmmaker, I am constantly translating everything I have learned from my background in analog art, photography, and performance into moving images. For me, art is an ongoing dialogue with life.
An open-ended journey of searching, experimenting, and bringing stories into the world.:
