Alina Aygen is an Istanbul-based artist whose practice examines the body as a material and structural condition rather than as a psychological or narrative subject. Working across drawing and painting, she investigates how gravity, pressure, erosion and time reorganise bodily form.

 

Drawing on architectural and geological processes, Aygen approaches the image surface as a site of construction. Through accumulation, abrasion and dispersal, charcoal and pigment transform the surface into a material field where the boundaries between flesh, structure, landscape and ruin become unstable.

 

Aygen holds a BFA in Painting from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.
