Graduating from the Department of Sociology of The Middle East Technical University, Başak Temel’s relationship with art began while in elementary school and was augmented by studies with her art educator mother.

(Basak’s paintings are elegantly displayed on the sprawling Rixos Hotel sim surrounded by Turkish inspired architecture and waterways.)

Believing that productivity and creativity are the indispensable sources of development and bliss in human life, Temel continues to work on her art while also enjoying a professional life. Her life philosophy, life experiences, joy of living, frustrations and dreams are all reflected through the visual elements of her work. These elements include color, form, and texture and she works with a combination of techniques to create strikingly original aesthetic tones; always thoughtfully applying her materials and techniques in a broad and creative manner.

(Basak Temel’s artwork is a melange of color, abstract shapes and symbols.)

She arranges the abstract and symbolic shapes in her works to reflect the rhythm of life. And she creates a very special harmony and visual impression by combining the colors in various tones and nuances. She artfully contrasts the lusterless texture of acrylic paint to develop a relation between the bronze and gleam of mirrors.
