Past and Women

There is a quiet strength in Past and Women—a powerful oil painting by Turkish artist Serap Taşkıran, whose work often navigates the layered, unspoken lives of women. In this evocative square-format canvas, soft brushstrokes collide with tension, memory, and resilience. Faces are suggested rather than defined, histories are hinted at rather than spelled out—leaving space for the viewer to find their own reflection within the frame.

Taşkıran’s work draws from her deep connection to Turkish culture, blending tradition and emotion with a distinctly modern hand. Past and Women speaks to generational echoes—the burdens, beauty, and quiet battles passed down through time. It's both deeply personal and universally understood.
