Seylan Kandak, visual artist and photographer, is currently a doctoral candidate at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), where she researches contemporary social art as a transformative educational tool for social sustainability.
Her artistic path, rooted in a degree in photography and a DEA in photography and multimedia, has been enriched by a master’s degree in visual arts and art education from the Sorbonne University Paris1, where she deepened her exploration of contemporary art as an educational medium.
Her work spans photography, painting, sculpture, and installation. Her artistic projects such as the Ephemeral Sculptures series exhibited at the Can Framis Museum of Contemporary Art and the exhibition Notions Matters at Cotxeres Borrell gallery are grounded in participatory and inclusive processes. She aims to engage the public in reflections on social issues, fostering interaction among participants to generate dialogue around societal challenges.
The cocoon is a recurring image in her work. Her research focuses on representing the duality between protective strength and fragility, the visible and the hidden, as well as the tension between isolation and connection.
Kandak resides in Barcelona, where she continues to develop her work at Casa R.A.R.O .
