Selma Tamay meets the audience at the 2026 Izmir Art Fair.
The artist presents a selection of her recent works, focusing on the human face and inner narrative.


The human face as a space of emotion, memory, and identity.
Selma Tamay, as a portrait painter, approaches the human face as a space where emotion, memory, and identity intersect. In these works, not only physical resemblance but also the inner expression carried by each individual is explored.
The portraits emerge through a process of observation, intuition, and layered construction.
Through light, color, and texture, the aim is to create a connection between the viewer not only with the face itself, but with the presence behind it.
