Born in 1977 in Bulgaria, Şenay Ulusoy graduated from Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Sculpture Department.
Ulusoy, who was deemed worthy of the 65th National Painting and Sculpture Competition Sculpture Achievement Award in 2004, started to travel to these regions in order to examine the "Far East Sculpture Art" in its homeland.
In addition to working on sculpting for many years, the artist won Honorable Mention Award at the 31st Turgut Pura Foundation International Sculpture Competition in 2012, and the Grand Prize at the Bazaart Art Competition in 2015.
Through the concepts of the existentialist thought system like fear, anxiety, nonsense, absurd etc., the artist emphasizes the subjects like temporality of life and the process of organic and our mortality, by using the materials such as cotton fabric and wool in her works. with a very colorful and sometimes humorous artistic way.
The artist, who is especially interested in the culture and artistic heritage of Far East, has often traveled to these regions and traces this culture in her sculptures. The oral tradition of Eastern culture’s storyteller approach and symbolic narrative leaves its place to analysis of written concepts in the Western culture. In her works, the artist combines concepts and symbols with a fairy-tale language by feeding from both cultures. She continues to work in her studio in Istanbul.
