Serap Öney is a versatile contemporary artist and designer. Her education in fashion and painting has formed the basis of her hybrid practice, which masterfully combines different disciplines such as traditional painting and digital illustration. Having delivered her artworks, handmade products, and digital designs from her studio to art lovers and clients in over 28 countries, Öney has built a strong identity in both the artistic and commercial fields. Thanks to this multidisciplinary approach, her works and artistic vision find expression in both her personal projects and collaborations with various brands.
“As a multidisciplinary artist and designer, my practice lies at the intersection of mythological narratives and personal memory. By merging traditional painting techniques with digital art and illustration, I explore cycles, balance, and transformation between nature and humanity. My aim is to invite viewers into the layered worlds of each work, encouraging them to engage in a dialogue with both their inner landscapes and our collective memory through visual storytelling. This hybrid approach allows my works to unfold not only on canvas but also across a wide spectrum, ranging from design to bespoke projects.”
