In Moonlight, a portrait of a woman with white hair is softly illuminated by scattered bright spots, evoking the quiet mystery of a moonlit night. The subtle radiance give the figure an ethereal quality, blurring the line between the earthly and the celestial. The composition invites viewers into a dreamlike space where light becomes memory, and silence holds emotion.

About the Artist
Iryna Yilmaz
I am a figurative artist drawn to the quiet spaces where memory, identity, intersect. Working primarily in painting, with occasional forays into mixed media, my practice revolves around capturing the emotional resonance of stillness, transition, and the unseen.
Much of my recent work centers on feminine subjects set within liminal spaces—dusk, dawn, the moonlit hours—where reality and dream begin to blur. In paintings like Moonlight and the broader series Daughters of the Night, I explore the inner lives of women as reflected through atmosphere, gesture, and silence. These figures often exist in solitude, yet they are far from passive; they hold space, command emotion, and invite introspection.
My artistic philosophy is rooted in the belief that slowness, subtlety, and softness are powerful. In a fast, often overstimulated world, I aim to create visual pauses—moments of stillness that allow the viewer to reflect, remember, or simply breathe. This aligns deeply with the theme of the current exhibition, which speaks to transformation—not as spectacle, but as something personal, quiet, and evolving. I see each painting as an invitation to consider what exists just beneath the surface of things: the stories we carry, the identities we shape, and the versions of ourselves that come alive when no one is watching.
