About
Bio
Ufuk Yılmaz studied fine arts at Uludağ University and Maria Curie-Sklodowska University. After teaching visual arts for a while, he now works as a graphic and UI/UX designer in an institution and continues his studies in the field of art.
Statement
The works explore the relationship between nature and human made artifacts through the contrast between organic forms and analytical structures. Natural forms are combined with grids, geometric elements, and visual systems drawn from the language of graphic design and digital image making. The grid represents the human tendency to analyze, organize, and structure the world, while organic forms retain the irregularity and unpredictability of nature. Bringing these elements together reflects how human production shapes our perception of nature and becomes part of our visual memory.
