I'm meli, a digital artist and illustrator based in Ankara, Türkiye. My work explores identity, anxiety, emotional tension, and transformation through character-driven illustrations, bold colors, and surreal imagery. I'm drawn to the strange ways our inner worlds shape how we see ourselves and everything around us. I create characters that carry feelings we don't always know how to express, turning personal experiences into visual stories that others might recognize as their own. With a background in Visual Communication Design, I've spent years exploring different approaches to digital art and visual storytelling. My work has been exhibited internationally, including NFT.NYC, Chicago, Lisbon, Japan, Romania, and Switzerland.
