Hello, I’m Sevincy.
In the early 2000s, I began my artistic journey with acrylic and oil paintings. But even then, I was already experimenting with industrial materials that challenged the boundaries of art. I painted not only with pigment but with polyurethane—a floor-coating plastic that looked and behaved like chocolate sauce. I used it as paint on canvas. Its gloss, texture, and toxicity fascinated me.
Then came the polyurethane foam. It rose like dough. I sculpted massive cakes, macarons, and sweets from it—each one hyperreal, yet completely artificial. These were not just visual jokes. They were critiques of excess and symbols of inner turmoil.
As a child, I grew up watching hundreds of loaves of bread rise and bake in the family bakery. I saw how raw, shapeless matter could transform into nourishment through heat and time. The same principles applied to my art: different components—experiences, people, places—come together, interact, and solidify into form. That’s what art is to me. A magma that cools into meaning.
In 2016, I began creating in virtual reality—using light as a brush. The same illuminated gestures returned later in my physical sculptures. That wasn’t a coincidence; it was a continuity. I work with waste: material waste, digital waste, emotional waste. I transform them into light.
In 2018, WWF Turkey commissioned a sculpture for World Turtle Day. That’s when I started building with plastic bottles. The first bottles came not from the ocean, but from Istanbul’s sea buses—used, discarded, collected by a cleaning worker and sent to my studio. Among them, two small plastic stars became the turtle’s eyes.
Since then, I’ve created robotic sculptures from garbage, massive serpents from bottle scales, and public artworks that demand collaboration and collective action. These works have been featured in major exhibitions, museums, and international platforms. And all of them are born from my own invented techniques, personal history, and relentless labor.
Art is not just for display anymore. I want to reproduce it, pass it on to children, feed it with data, encrypt it with blockchain, and code it with light.
Every material I touch carries memory. My art activates those memories—plastic becomes protest, light becomes language, and waste becomes the blueprint for a different future.
