Seçil

Seçil Erel (b. Istanbul, based in London) got her BA and MA degree at the prestigious Mimar Sinan Fine Art University and have been exhibiting in a numerous of group and solos exhibitions across Turkey, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, UK and USA. Seçil has also been an artist in residence in Turkey, Switzerland, Moldava, Germany and London.
Growing up in a multicultural city as Istanbul, Seçil has soon developed a high sensibility to pluralist visions and a strong ambition to further expand her horizons. After extensively traveling, in 2017, the artist decided to move to London and soon after opening an art studio, she notoriously received a scholarship from the London Creative Network. In 2021, Seçil was invited for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, with her remarkable work Universal Fragments; Brightness.
For Seçil, being a contemporary artist means attentively observing and enticingly processing the world’s plentifulness into abstract relationships of time and space. The masterly saturation of her canvases, with vibrant colours and texturised layers renders to Seçil’s interiority, a richness of thought and emotion pertaining to intense and invaluable experiences. Her motto is for her work to be widely influential.
