Gokcen Yuksek Art
Born in Turkey, raised in Chester and currently living in London.
After working as a 3D sculptor over the last 10 years I started oil painting in 2019. It is a nice contrast to digital design, and I found that they both complement each other.
I still carry on working as a digital sculptor in various industries such as games, production and window design, starting to combine the two to create mixed media artwork.
I started painting to explore different ways to express ideas which were limited by 3D. I was very inspired by the pop surreal style and became more fascinated as I discovered more about this art movement.
I currently spend most of my time painting amongst other sculpting work.
