Sercen Bayraktar

A Social Scientist and Painter born in Giresun. The artist carries the perspective of social sciences — aimed at understanding people, society, and cultural heritage — into their artistic journey, and stands out particularly with their interest in period paintings. In their realistic drawings, they approach the atmosphere, people, lifestyles, and aesthetic world of past eras with an original interpretation. In their period paintings, they not only reflect the historical appearance but also make visible the moods, gazes, and emotions of the era through imaginative touches. In their artistic understanding, they establish a connection between reality and imagination, history and emotion, and the visible and the felt. Their realist approach, strong observational ability, and imaginative emotional emphasis form the fundamental character of their works. In each piece, they aim to retell a story from the past to today's audience through emotion.
