Exciting news: ftNFT Phygital Space in China Town, Dubai Mall is hosting an exhibition featuring the talented Turkish artist Zeynep Çilek Çimen from April 16 to May 16. After her standout performance during the Venice Biennale, Çimen is bringing her richly symbolic and visually engaging art to Dubai, just in time for the city’s spring art festivities.
Çimen is well known for her powerful visual aesthetic and rhythmic compositions, which blend traditional Anatolian, Seljuk, and Ottoman components with the exact precision of optical art. Her approach transforms these historical symbols into modern depictions of identity, memory, and change. By fusing abstraction with cultural references, she creates a visual language that is both very personal and universal.
Filled with bright colors and fresh energy, Çimen’s latest work is inspired by spring and the idea of starting again. Using traditional methods and cultural themes, her vibrant floral paintings explore tradition, memory, and change. With bold shapes and soft details, she mixes tradition with her own story. This spring, visit ftNFT Phygital Space to see how she brings the past into the present in a beautiful and personal way.
