Selma Tamay approaches the human face as a field of expression in her figurative paintings.
Moving beyond resemblance, she explores individual identity through subtle tension in the gaze, fleeting emotional shifts, and an underlying sense of depth.
Each portrait suggests more than what is visible. The face becomes not merely a representation, but a space of narrative.
Selma Tamay is an artist based in Izmir.
Focusing primarily on figurative painting, her work explores emotion, expression, and inner layers through the human face.
Her works have been presented in various exhibitions and art events.
