BENGISU YAZICI

   Hello! I am Bengisu, a Montreal (Tiohtià:ke) based, Istanbul-born visual artist who is working with different mediums and styles since my “self” is in a constant transformation and my artworks reflect this ongoing process; my effort to understand, to adapt, and sometimes to resist the rapid and constant transformation of the world.

   Through both my studies and my artworks, I engage with the concepts such as the self, perception, duality, transformation, collectivity, othering, and so on… I am passionate about the unifying power of art, and using the visual languages to express myself, and understand “others”. I enjoy challenging my limited perception of the world through visual arts, using creativity and imagination as tools to shape my understanding of life. Since 2021, I have been conducting “art and creativity” workshops, with the goal of sparking curiosity and wonder in the participants, and encouraging them to question their perspectives and discover new possibilities.
