Reclining upon the clouds, a woman in white sets out on a surreal dream voyage — accompanied by notes scattering from a gramophone horn and doves gliding around her — above Bodrum Castle, where sailboats lie at anchor beneath a rainbow, and a fairy-tale sea whose depths dissolve into fish.
About the Artist
Born in Istanbul in 1965. She trained in the studio of Avni Memedoğlu between 1990 and 1992, and since 1992 has worked from her own studio in Asmalımescit. Describing herself as "a woman who hears colours and sees sounds," she has forged a figurative language of expressionist, fantastical and fairy-tale character; themes such as the place of women in society, poverty, war and migration run through her work in a vividly colourist idiom. With more than thirty solo exhibitions in Turkey and abroad, Oyman celebrated the fortieth year of her artistic life in 2024 with an exhibition staged in the historic Hüsrev Kethüda Hamam in Istanbul.
