Sila Candansayar is an emerging artist whose practice focuses on sculpture and installation. With an educational background in philosophy, Sila Candansayar challenges viewers to take metaphorical steps, cross imagined thresholds, and journey to unfamiliar places. Her works become sites where the familiar and the imaginary intersect. Both on the practical and metaphorical levels, Sila Candansayar issues a challenge that we synthesize two types of volume. One, created by an object in space; the other, created by the resonance of expectations and the sounds of our own psyches.
In 2020, she joined Dominique Figarella’s studio at Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In June 2023, her BFA show, “No Place Like Home”, was given honors by the jury. In November 2023, she had her first solo show, “Tenders”, in Cabinet Studiolo, Milan, Italy. Since then, her work has been included in numerous group shows in Paris.
