Zeynep is a Bodrum based self-portrait artist and photographer with a background rooted in art history, the subject they studied passionately at university.​ After their studies, Zeynep found their way into the world of dance, where they have spent over a decade teaching and performing pole dance; a powerful art form that blends strength, sensuality, and self-expression.

 

In 2022, they entered the NFT space as a model, but it wasn’t long before they turned the lens on themselves, creating self-portraits that became a transformative and deeply personal practice. Through this medium, Zeynep discovered the liberating power of reclaiming their image and rewriting their narrative. Each self-portrait became an act of empowerment and advocacy, celebrating the raw beauty of vulnerability and the inherent strength of authenticity.

​

As a Self Portraitist Zeynep’s work is rooted in the philosophy that the human body is our sole possession—our truest and most personal form of identity. They view nude art as a powerful declaration of freedom, challenging societal expectations and breaking down stigmas surrounding the body. For Zeynep, every image tells a story of ownership, self-acceptance, and the celebration of autenticity.​

Zeynep's works have been exhibited in several exhibitions, including AIA Paris, Nua Casa in São Paulo and the NFC Summit in Lisbon.
