MEMDUH KUZAY (1957 - )

In addition to his large-scale compositions for the organic integration of fabric and paper collages with intense color elements, the artist makes figurative pattern and watercolor works. In all of his paintings with acrylic and oil paints on canvas, he considers balance in composition as a basis and uses rich colors and techniques in this context.
