Arzu Kaplan

Arzu Kaplan

Arzu Kaplan is a Turkish artist whose practice bridges the traditional art of ebru (paper marbling) and kat’ı (paper cutting), reinterpreting classical Ottoman techniques within a contemporary context. Trained in history and traditional arts, she approaches creation as both preservation and renewal, an act of cultural memory carried through color, form, and movement. Since beginning her work in 2009, Kaplan has exhibited widely and received national recognition, including the Ministry of Culture’s 21st Turkish Decorative Arts Award. Her work reflects a dialogue between heritage and future, where craft becomes a living expression of continuity and devotion.
Inessa Ruzh

Inessa Ruzh

Inessa Ruzh is a digital artist and illustrator whose practice intertwines memory, identity, and technology through a symbolic, feminine visual language. Rooted in Slavic folk aesthetics, she reimagines ancestral motifs within the digital realm to explore care, continuity, and erasure. Her work bridges craft and computation, transforming textile-like patterns and sacred geometries into reflections on data, visibility, and belonging. By merging hand-drawn intimacy with algorithmic precision, Ruzh creates digital icons of resilience, poetic meditations on what survives, what fades, and how cultural memory endures in the shifting architectures of the virtual age.
