Biography

Nilüfer Örel, Türk bir sanatçıdır. Şeref Bigalı'dan çeşitli resim dersleri aldı. Romanya'da yaşadığı dört yıl boyunca, Bükreş'te kurduğu atölyede Rumen ve Fransız sanatçılarla çalıştı. Son üç yıldır, Bodrum'da bir köyde ormanlık bir alanda yaşıyor, güneş enerjisi ve doğrudan kaynak suyu kullanarak, vahşi yaşamı komşu olarak benimsemiş durumda. Şu anda, denizde yaşarken deneyimlediği dalgalar ve mavi deniz tutkusu ve bitmek bilmeyen yelken arzusu ile kendi dünyasını ve doğayı farklı tekniklerle harmanlayarak dönüştürüyor. Nilüfer'in tutkusu, 2023'te düzenlenen Bodrum Sanat Fuarı ve Denizbank Sanat Galerisi gibi çeşitli sergiler aracılığıyla izleyicisine ulaştı. 2024 yılında Merqezart Bodrum'da "Hayatımın Katmanları" başlıklı ilk kişisel sanat sergisini açtı.

Nilufer Örel is a Turkish artist. She took various painting lessons from Seref Bigali. During the period when she lived in Romania for 4 years, she worked with Romanian and French artists at the workshop she established in Bucharest. For the past three years, she has been living in a forest area in Bodrum / Turkiye in a village, using solar electricity and direct spring water source and nearby the wildlife as her neighborhood. For the time being she transforms her passion for waves and blue sea, and her never-ending desire for sailing, which she experienced while living on the sea, by blending his own world and nature with diff erent techniques. Nilufer’s passion reached her audience throughout several exhibitions such as Bodrum Art fair and Denizbank Art Gallery held in 2023. She exposed her fi rst individual art exposition in Merqezart Bodrum in 2024, titled “ Layers of my life “.

Nilüfer Örel est un peintre Turque. Elle a pris plusieurs cours de peinture avec Şeref Bigalı. Pendant la période où elle a vécu en Roumanie pendant 4 ans, elle a travaillé avec des artistes roumains et français dans l'atelier qu'elle a établi à Bucarest. Depuis trois ans, elle vit dans une zone forestière à Bodrum, en Turquie, dans un village, utilisant l'électricité solaire et une source d'eau directe, et ayant la faune environnante pour voisinage. Actuellement, elle transforme sa passion pour les vagues et la mer bleue, ainsi que son désir incessant de naviguer, qu'elle a expérimenté en vivant sur la mer, en mélangeant son propre monde et la nature avec diff érentes techniques. La passion de Nilüfer a atteint son public à travers plusieurs expositions, telles que la foire d'art de Bodrum et la galerie d'art Denizbank, tenues en 2023. Elle a exposé sa première exposition d'art individuelle à Merqezart Bodrum en 2024, intitulée "Les couches de ma vie".

Artist Statement

Feeling the moment, only the present counts—I create art that invites stillness, presence, and a renewed sense of wonder in the now. Each piece is a reminder to pause, feel, and truly see.
