Cansu Sezer, born in 1987 in Düsseldorf, is a German-Turkish artist based in Zurich. After an early artistic education and a successful career as a Creative Director at a leading agency in the German-speaking region, she returned to painting with renewed intensity in 2023.
In 2024, her works were showcased at the British Art Fair in the Saatchi Gallery in London.
Sezer’s paintings are characterized by complex layers of color and textural depth, drawing the viewer into a world of ambiguity and multifaceted meaning. In her work, she challenges us to question the visible and hidden layers of reality and to explore the space between the obvious and the unspoken. Her art invites a deep engagement with the dynamics of chaos and order, addressing the unresolved tension between these forces.
Sezer seeks a “raw chaotic depth” and the beauty within chaos.
"I would love to dissolve, layer by layer, everything that holds clarity — every seemingly normal image, every norm, every rule, every layer we carry within ourselves. My paintings are a celebration of the unresolved."
