Based in Munich and currently a fellow at Villa Romana in Florence, Gülbin Ünlü is a contemporary artist who reimagines the limits of the art canon. Since graduating from Munich’s Academy of Fine Arts in 2018, where her experimental approach earned her the Erwin and Gisela von Steiner Foundation Award, she has developed a style that is both intellectually deep and vibrantly accessible.

At the heart of her work is a signature „mash-up“ philosophy. Rather than sticking to one medium, Ünlü creates a dialogue between painting, photography, video, and sound. She is best known for a unique hybrid technique a seamless blend of printmaking and painting that results in fragmented, multilayered structures. Her art explores affective archives and hidden narratives, offering a form of aesthetic resistance against standard ways of seeing.
