Polen Cerci is a visionary visual artist whose work harmoniously integrates art, architecture, and design. She has crafted a unique aesthetic, blending abstract expressionism with architectural elements in her distinctive double-sided 2D sculptures. These creations feature colors and textures that emerge through porous, natural materials, forming dynamic, symbiotic shapes. Deeply inspired by nature—particularly the ocean, forests, and the raw beauty of the earth—Polen incorporates materials like hemp, jute, and shimmering accents of gold, copper, and bronze. These materials symbolize both the organic and precious aspects of the world around us. Drawing on the Japanese philosophies of Kintsugi, Ikigai, and Wabi-Sabi, her work delves into themes of transformation, resilience, and the beauty of imperfection, where life's flaws are embraced and transformed into something even more meaningful.Originally from the vibrant, historic city of Istanbul, Polen has lived in Melbourne, the Gold Coast, and the wild rainforests of Australia, experiences that have greatly influenced her multicultural and nature-inspired perspective. After relocating to Miami, she fully embraced abstract expressionism, exploring the emotional depths of humanity and the power of nature through vivid colors and intricate forms. Her Sculptures on Canvas series reimagines Kintsugi as a metaphor for life’s cracks—literal and figurative—serving as conduits for light and growth, turning scars into sources of strength.Polen is a member of the esteemed Fountainhead Art Organization, and her work has been showcased at prestigious exhibitions such as Art Basel, the Coconut Grove Fine Art Gallery, and the W Icon exhibitions. She has participated in both private and group shows with renowned curators during Art Basel. Her art has also been featured in notable publications such as Sunset Islands Magazine, Cocoplum Magazine, Golden Beach Magazine, and on French TV's 50 Inside LE MAG. Working closely with private collectors, interior designers, and galleries across Miami, Polen continues to create thought-provoking art that fosters reflection, connection, and a profound reverence for both nature and the human spirit.
