Maral Taşkırıcı

Maral, born in 1996 in Istanbul, Turkey, is an interdisciplinary artist with a primary focus on ceramics. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Product Design from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti. Her work delves into emotional and social themes, particularly exploring the experiences of female figures constrained by societal roles, often in surreal and symbolic landscapes intertwined with nature.
