Hi, I’m Esra, a Barcelona-based Illumination Artist, Designer and Instructor. I’ve transitioned from advertising and market research into fine arts, and over the years I’ve created art pieces for domestic and international art lovers, designed patterns for brands such as Munira Leather & Hamzah Silk and Data and Art Co., and organized illumination classes for schools (the latest at Escuela Cadmus). With a Master’s in Art and Cultural Management (2023) I now apply those skills to art projects and cultural programs, including roles in major exhibitions like Manifesta15 and Venice Biennial contexts. I enjoy guiding visitors, coordinating CRM data, and sharing knowledge through classes and community projects, while continuing to develop my own art practice.…Hi, I’m Esra, a Barcelona-based Illumination Artist, Designer and Instructor.
