Floating - a wander within
Project Type
Centering on human emotion, the figures float within nature, surrendering to a profound sense of weightlessness. In this stillness, strength emerges through vulnerability, rage gives way to resilience, and acceptance becomes a quiet act of power. The project Floating explores transformation through the raw, elemental force of feeling and letting go.

About the Artist
Deniz Çakıroğlu
Deniz is a Turkish artist based in Amsterdam. Her passion for painting began in early childhood and was nurtured by the dynamic and diverse art scene of Istanbul. While pursuing a degree in engineering, she also studied Art Theory at Sabancı University, where she deepened her understanding of the philosophical and cultural foundations of art - its nature, and its connection to the self, society, and the world.
Deniz’s work explores the quiet tension between stillness and the intricacies of the human psyche. Her compositions invite viewers into a contemplative space - a sense of presence and being. Yet, beneath the surface, subtle details hint at the unseen demons that often accompany the pursuit of existence.
Deniz’s paintings serve as visual meditations - spaces where the visible and invisible meet, offering viewers both solace and subtle confrontation.
