Ithaca-based, Istanbul-born illustrator Gizem Vural is known for her abstraction and expression throughout her personal work, such as _Lonely Night_, _A Busy Morning_ and _Anxiety_, in which she demonstrates her flair at its most vibrantly coloured and intense. From time to time she subverts expectation, juxtaposing vivid colour with sketchy and gradated tones of black, grey and white, further imbuing her pieces with emotion.
