Ipek Usman, Visual Artist

Born in Istanbul, based in Amsterdam. 

With a passion for visual arts and community building, I've taken on roles ranging from visual artist to creative director, communications and marketing management with a special focus on inclusivity and sustainability.

My endeavours revolve around the art of capturing fleeting moments and transforming them into captivating visual narratives that resonate deeply with local initiatives and subcultures.

My work is influenced by the vibrant aesthetics and pulsating energy of the rave scene, deconstructing boundaries and building communities through art. 

Constantly on a journey to shift my artistic vision in a conceptual direction to tackle sociocultural issues and the Anthropocene.
