About

Dilruba Tayfun (b. 1995. Antalya, Turkey) is an artist based in Amsterdam. Tayfun utilises objects from the natural environment as the basis for her painting practice, forming an expansive and collaborative language that dips in and out of the tactile and digital realms. Her work weaves meaning into image-making – bridging fiction and non-fiction, science and spirit, east and west, embodied and imagined. From this all-encompassing and durational practice emerges a distinct lexicon that spans the mediums of painting, drawing, and digital design.

Tayfun has exhibited her work in Bodrum, Turkey, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and London, United Kingdom. Her project Togather was the 2021 winner of Trojan Horse was a Unicorn's Sony Talent League. She has created work for The Independent, Institute of Race Relations, Mutoid Waste Co., and Electric Light Studios & TomTom. She is a graduate of Central Saint Martins, London.
