Ania Yilmaz is a painter and researcher, from Poland and based in the Netherlands. Her practice emerges from her life, in which she has been looking at what is around her (people, symbolic structures etc), what might have been under and what could be (instead). She creates a mass of images, that are in discourse with each other and react to the hegemongic image regime.
Her work is influenced by her studies in archaeology (University of Warsaw), sociology (Collegium Civitas) and illustration (Willem de Kooning) which resurface in different forms, modes and contexts. She received a masters in Art Praxis from the Dutch Art Institute (2022 - 2024), where her thesis considered the construction of symbolic order out of archaeological remains found on the island of Lipari.
