About Hulya Oz : Imagine a designer who has become increasingly fascinated with the cultural layers of her country and the lands she has born and exists. Who is contacting with different artisans in her homeland and collaborates with them, she wants to communicate with the past and be a bridge between the past and the present with her designs and these collaborations. By combining a passion for traditional craftsmanship with a commitment to addressing contemporary needs through design, she can create meaningful and impactful objects that represents the cultural heritage of her land while addressing the practical and modern requirements of the daily life. She integrates traditional motifs, patterns, and symbols into contemporary objects. Creates a line of products that showcase the skill and artistry of local artisans while catering to contemporary needs and tastes. Her desire is to introduce the deep wisdom hidden within both the cultural layers and craftsmen skills in Turkiye to the world.
STATEMENT OF ART:
Designing and producing is a powerful and personal manifesto.
It is a form of expression of the relationship established with life.

As a woman, I beleive that I can create more beauty in the world. Nature has endowed us with this inner strength. Our nature inherently possesses qualities like deep knowledge, healing, as well as mystical powers. The designs and products are a direct way to convey these features.
My inspiration comes from the feelings created in me by my homeland Anatolia, where I exist and take shape within years.
