Romina Meriç is a visual artist based in Istanbul, Turkey. Her studio practice is rooted in painting and drawing. She has a multi faceted mode of working - in order to allow personal content and collective, sociological reflection to coexist. In her work, she explores the psychological layers of emotionally charged themes such as healing, trauma, friendship, coming of age, liminality and transformation. Her intuitive attitude to image making complements the process bound aspect of her subjects. She feeds her practice with research on different theories of the self, developmental psychology, and behavioral patterns in contemporary society.
Romina received her MFA degree in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University in 2013. She has a BA degree from Brandeis University. She currently lives and works in Istanbul. Romina actively collaborates with Derin Print Shop, an artist-run etching studio where her original etchings and monotypes are published. In addition to exhibiting her work locally and internationally, Romina works as a visual arts educator.
