About Simay Keles
Simay Keles was born in Izmir, Turkey, in 1988 and moved to Germany at the age of 18 to pursue her studies. Keles works in series, whose works deal with nature and the human experience.
Keles' art is strongly inspired by her travels. She paints what she finds beautiful and threatened by erosion. Depending on the series, her works move between figuration and abstraction.
Her multi-layered paintings are made with oil and acrylic paints. Without prior sketches, the different layers serve as a template for the next layer, remaining partially visible to the viewer. To preserve the naturalness of her work, she sometimes leaves unpainted and untouched areas on the raw canvas.
The artist lives and works in Hamburg.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
