Brooklyn local artist Sinejan Kılıç Buchina and her creative process

Sinejan Kılıç Buchina

Born in Turkey / Works in Bushwick, Brooklyn
BIO
Sinejan’s mixed media paintings are an ode to the lived experiences of places that no article, photograph, or map can capture. Borders between two countries are never clear cut; languages become forgotten; some small towns cannot be reached by even mail, rendering it invisible. To parallel this constant process of unraveling, Sinejan erodes geographical boundaries on maps with stains of dirt, rust, spices, straw, and other materials collected from places she personally traveled to. She actually keeps glass jars of scrap metal on her studio cabinets that will one day turn into rust - a poetic process where even the most hardened, robust-looking materials eventually return to nature.
You’ll love Sinejan if: you are the kind of traveller who would people-watch at a local mom and pop restaurant than visit tourist sites
