Özlem Yeni
Özlem Yeni is a Turkish-born interdisciplinary artist whose life across Türkiye, Australia and the United States shapes a practice exploring memory, migration, belonging and human connection. Working across drawing, painting, installation, textiles and performance, she transforms lived experience into visual traces of what we carry, leave behind and remember.
Humans have left their marks behind for thousands of years, evidence that someone was there and someone made them. The Certified Artist icon feels like a contemporary version of that mark. In an age of AI, I use it simply to say: a human was here and a human made this.
