The artist, born in Turkey in 1949, who studied in Istanbul and at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and lives in Cologne, places people at the center of her work. Most of the pictures show a nuclear family of father, mother and child. The figures remain faceless; they are not individuals and are set in landscapes of color that express moods and feelings.
Besides acrylic paints, Gönül Sen also uses nail polish or tar; she draws delicate lines but also sets bold brushstrokes; she sprays, drips and wipes. In this way, ever new variations emerge.
