Selin Nisa Acikel

Selin Nisa Açıkel, AA Dip (b. 2000) is a London-based Turkish artist and architectural designer.

Her paintings begin from remembered encounters with landscape. What remains is less a picture of a place than the persistence of having been there.

Alongside her studio practice she works as a material-led designer at a circular design and make practice in London, specialising in bio-circular construction and community-led projects. The reuse of a material and the recollection of a memory follow similar rules: nothing begins from nothing, everything carries forward.
