Creating Breath-by-Breath with Filiz Soyak

Filiz Soyak is an interdisciplinary artist creating through intuitive mark-making in painting, fiber, clay, and installation, whose work has been exhibited and collected internationally for over two decades. 

Her work explores territories of intuition, subconsciousness, and is about creating and invoking peace, healing, and an appreciation for our natural environments, humanity, and the present moment. 

After becoming a mother in 2016, mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork became integral to her creative process and subject matter. 

Filiz is truly a global citizen and creating art has been the unifying language that helped her to process and adapt to so many diverse experiences. She was born to a Turkish father and Swedish mother, raised in Belgium, grew up in Japan and the United States, and after spending some time in Jordan, Barbados and New York City, is now settled in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York, with her husband and two young children.
