Selin is a self-taught abstract acrylic painter based in Toronto, Canada, originally from Istanbul, Turkiye. With a background in Chemistry and a PhD in Polymer Science and Technology, her journey into art began as a way to explore emotion through color, texture, and form—beyond the structure and precision of science. 

Her work is rooted in fundamental human emotions—love, anger, fear, joy—and everyday feelings such as curiosity, anxiety, and wonder. She paints in rich layers, combining vibrant color palettes with handwritten marks and linear elements to create energetic, emotionally resonant compositions.

Rather than defining meaning, she aims to offer an open visual experience—one that invites personal interpretation and emotional connection. In a way, her art represents a transition from the clarity of science to the complexity of emotion.

Living in Toronto, she draws from a blend of cultures and experiences to develop a visual language that feels dynamic and authentic—inviting viewers to pause, feel, and reflect.
