Desi Ilker

Desi, born in 1987 in Berlin (Germany), has been painting ever since she was a child. Growing up in a family of designers, art has always been a big part of her life, although she chose a different career path. Today she works as a part-time artist and sells her paintings in Germany and internationally to collectors or art lovers that appreciate her intuitive approach. Desi is particularly intrigued by the ways in which the mind can create its own worlds and realities: “My artwork has been an important part in the exploration of myself. Every brushstroke tells a very personal story about my past and my identity. Hoping it all translates to the surface, my art practice is a way to reinforce the freedom to exist as I am and to find joy and peace in chaotic times like these.”
