Asya Alpay is a young artist from Istanbul, Turkey. Her work has previously been featured in a variety of galleries and art fairs in Istanbul, Bodrum, İzmir, London, Toronto, New York, Paris, Barcelona, and Madrid. In October, her select works were displayed at the Saatchi Gallery London and the Affordable Art Fair Battersea 25th year edition. In the meantime, she is preparing for her second solo exhibition in Istanbul 2025. Graduated from the Bogazici University Western Languages and Literatures department, she sees her art as a reflection of bipolar disorder, which she was diagnosed with in 2016. Asya Alpay works with a special technique by dying clear epoxy with raw pigments, creating a type of “unique” form of paint, and applies it to bases of creations on canvas with forms of acrylic paint. She uses techniques such as layering different colors/densities of epoxy, mixtures with other elements such as glass shards, etc. She paints abstracts where she plays with colors and materials, including her unique use of epoxy, as opposed to conventional drawing.
