Aylin Yavuz (born 18 June 1983) studied art at the universities of Siegen, Dortmund and Istanbul.
Since 2005 she has been making contributions to the arts with videos, graphics and paintings –
last exhibited at „Große Kunstausstellung“ Düsseldorf.
Besides art, she works for her own children’s- and storybook-publishing company Gillvuz, founded in 2007, also giving lectures and conducting workshops on it at universities, schools and preschools.

In her paintings and video sequences Aylin Yavuz incorporates aspects of the present, filtered through
a postmodern, aesthetic approach, which leaves room for the viewer’s own imagination.

Deconstruction and composition, addition and simultaneousness, combination and allusion are her artistic methods. Abandoning from her work any striking and dramatic effects and immediacy accounts for the viewer’s calm and contemplative yet light-hearted spirit.
Aylin Yavuz removes the common concept of beauty and shows a different perception,
beyond the criteria of conventional aesthetics.
