Turkish expressionist painter Dilera Topaloğlu was born in Istanbul. She studied fine arts at Barry University in Miami and accessory design at the University of Miami. Upon completing her studies in 2007 she returned to Istanbul.
In her paintings, she utilizes strong and striking color techniques across both realistic and abstract touches. She incorporates acrylic paint, collaging and assemblage into her creations.
During her improvised creative process, she captures fleeting emotions of the moment in vivid color transitions, while exploring the interaction of acrylic paint with speed.
The bright and saturated colors in Dilera’s paintings transcend beyond the mundanities of everyday life while emphasizing her abstract and expressionistic plastic reality.
