Born and raised in Ankara, Turkey. Şebnem Ceylan graduated from Bilkent University's Communications and Design. Contemporary art, action painting, and abstract expressionism; all have impacted her work. She developed an interest in psychology and philosophy combined with spirituality, so she began to observe people's movements and emotions on a deeper level. She established a unique method for creating a display style that freezes the motion. According to staying in the "moment" as a form of healing, Şebnem Ceylan largely addressed this subject in her works.
