About me

My name is Gaye Akkan. I was born in Ankara on a Sweet May morning. I graduated from Çankaya University, Department of Political Science and International Relations in 2008. I took pilates and yoga training from Dr. Brent Anderson and many academies, establishing my studio and teaching pilates for many years.
The geometry and symbols that ı have used in all my paintings since my childhood emphasized that the birth of my inner life purpose has now taken place. After the “Centro Dell’incisione” workshop I attended in Milan, I saw winds of “cubism” blowing in my works. With an unlimited artistic instinct I opened my own exhibitions with many designs and paintings.
I held my first exhibition called “New Life” on 12 November 2022 hosted by “Meg Bebek” in İstanbul. On March 21,2023, I donated my paintings to the exhibition “I Have a Daughter in Anatolia” at the Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Center. My journey to Europe began when Gaudi Art Gallery in Madrid appreciated my paintings. Represented by Gaudi Art Gallery, I participated in the "Munich International Contemporary Art Fair" from April 12-14, 2024. From May 24-29, 2024, I took part in the "Vision Art Fair" in Marbella, Spain, again under Gaudi Art Gallery's banner. On June 5, 2024, I participated in the "Mixed Exhibition" at the Mustafa Kemal Cultural Center, and from June 3-8, 2024, I exhibited my works at the "So Far So Good" exhibition organized by Gaudi Art Gallery in Madrid.
Now I am very excited to meet you and introduce my works. Everything starts with a breath, let it come to life with art.
