01 — The approach
Defne Artuner
Artist · Ankara, Türkiye
I'm Defne, a 3D artist who mainly focuses on sculpting and character design majoring Sculpture in Hacettepe University. My work is deeply rooted in a fascination with human psychology and behavior. I view art and design not just as visual mediums, but as tools for exploring how people connect with characters and process emotion by understanding the underlying mechanics of cognition and empathy. My main goal is to craft pieces that resonate on a deeper level.
“Time will pass; these mood will pass; and I will, eventually, be myself again. But then, at some unknown time, the electrifying carnival will come back into my mind.”
