Emerald Gaze (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Belgin Parlak

Emerald Gaze is an original mixed-media portrait that combines painting with tactile, three-dimensional textile elements.

The artwork is created using gouache and plaster, with real tulle incorporated into the woman's clothing. The fabric rises from the surface of the artwork, giving the garment a distinctive relief and creating a physical sense of depth and texture.

Her vivid green eyes form the focal point of the composition, while layers of pink, burgundy and turquoise create a rich contrast. The delicate texture of the tulle adds intricacy to the traditional-inspired clothing and changes subtly depending on the light and viewing angle.

Inspired by the visual richness of traditional textiles and feminine portraiture, the work brings together painting, texture and fabric in a contemporary interpretation.
