We are the reflection of our ancestors on earth…

Ece Abay's artistic journey

Ece Abay's artistic journey begins with a chapter of solitude and profound introspection during her pursuit of MA and MFA education in Syracuse and Edinboro universities in the United States. Away from her home and family, she delves into the world of dreamscapes, mastering intaglio and woodcut print techniques on paper. This period serves as a crucible for honing her craft, as she translates deep emotions and feelings onto the canvas, laying the foundation for her unique artistic style.

The journey continues in the Netherlands, where Abay produces large-scale, one-of-a-kind woodcut prints on canvas. This chapter is a reflection of her connection to ancestor-ship, drawing inspiration from ancient temples, constellations, and her spiritual exploration. The thematic focus on Ancient Memories becomes a defining feature, as Abay weaves a narrative that transcends time and culture, infusing her art with a sense of history and spirituality.

Following an extended period, Ece Abay reenters the New York art scene, marking the beginning of a new, yet unnamed chapter in her artistic journey. Her recent works center around global monuments with deeper meanings beyond their artistic features. "Goddess of Liberty" and "The Colosseum" are the inaugural pieces in this portfolio, embodying the symbolism she consistently embeds into her art. These works serve as poignant reflections of her past and present, creating connections to her heritage and spirituality while exploring the profound meanings behind global monuments.
