About

Born in 1990 in Ankara and based in Istanbul, Tuğba Yüksel is an artist whose practice moves fluidly between stained glass, painting, assemblage, installation and string art. Her work emerges from an ongoing interest in how light engages with material, and how memory gathers within fragments that might otherwise be forgotten.

Working with recycled stained-glass pieces and production remnants, reshapes discarded materials into new visual vocabularies. Educated at Pera Fine Arts High School (Painting) and Yeditepe University’s Plastic Arts Department, she brings together colour, transparency and structure to explore the delicate threshold between fragility and resilience.

Her pieces invite viewers into a quiet space of interpretation—one where transformed materials become carriers of emotion, presence and possibility.
