Meral Müjde Schramm spent the majority of her life in Istanbul, where she studied Archaeology at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. Her hometown Istanbul and her studies have shaped her perspective on the world and its diverse cultures. Her life is a balancing act between Occident and Orient, between modernity and tradition, between constraints and complete freedom.

In her works, she seeks to visualize the coexistence of these contrasts. At first glance, the vibrant colors in her paintings evoke feelings of joy and optimism, yet upon closer inspection, tensions and discomfort emerge. This duality reflects the artist’s life and perspective: happiness mixed with unease, optimism combined with a touch of pessimism.

Through her works that unite these opposing emotions, the artist reminds the viewer of life’s complexity and diversity. Each brushstroke tells a story where past and present, chaos and order, merge.

Meral Müjde Schramm's works invite the viewer on a visual and emotional journey, opening up new perspectives. She works with acrylic paints and collage elements.
