From Kemanci Opening Night Istanbul: Gaye Su Akyol

Ok. I was assuming wrong! I found the artist that I was looking for! (Actually she found me because of my mistaken post - Gaye sorry again - ). The paintings/illustrations on the walls and doors in the bathroom in Kemancı belongs to Gaye Su Akyol (she's also one of the managers of the place) . Unfortunately you have to visit Kemacı to see the work I'm talking about but hey, these are as gorgeous as they can be! :

From Kemanci Opening Night Istanbul: Baysan Yüksel

Fixing my previous post:

She's not the artist that I was assuming but I am very proud to meet her. I didn't know who she was when I saw her work at opening night of Dükkan Burger, Maslak in 2010. Now I know :)
