Aylin’s research draws on abstraction, psychology, philosophy, and scenography. Her practice is influenced by artists and thinkers who explore stillness, gesture, perception, inner experience, and the relationship between art and society. She examines how painting can move beyond representation to become a space of perception, where material, light, and movement interact with the viewer’s experience.

Her current research asks how abstract painting can expand beyond the canvas and become an inhabitable spatial experience. Moving from figurative painting towards abstraction, she explores how intuition, subconscious awareness, memory, and embodied gesture can emerge through colour, texture, repetition, and material process. Influenced by film, theatre, and scenographic lighting, she is interested in creating environments in which painterly marks, light, and atmosphere extend into space. These works aim to hold stillness and movement together, inviting the viewer to slow down and enter an abstract, contemplative environment rather than simply observe a painting from a distance.
