Starting her artistic life at the age of eight as a singer in opera choir Seldem Oskay, by equipping her professional life with the music, she completed her high school and university education on piano and violoncello. She has started to spare time substantially to her painting, which always took place in her life after quitting her music instructor position in a private school. Mother of two Seldem, without being tied to a particular discipline in remaining time that she reserved from her kids, with the pleasure of producing she revolts against to madness of consumption. With diverse materials, with an understanding, which values the process of production not the final destination, without any sketches, she creates her work as momentary expressions of her inner world. Like a baby who sees only the contrast colors during its first months, the artist who emphasizes black and white in her first professional paintings, as soon as her eyes get used to the world on the canvas, she says that she have started to use other colors bravely as yet. She tries to give a new life in another form to book pages and wasted papers. She transforms canvases to visual pages that we can read even though we don’t know their language. The relation in between canvas and paper; is a story about distorting the didactic discipline that imposed technically and transforming recycled pages into a universal book.
