bluretina

Bluretina is a digital artist who distills complex ideas and emotions into cartoon-style characters, often catlike figures with big smiles and bright colors. Her work explores connection and self-image, often drawing on her own life. She takes her name, meaning blur retina, from the nearsightedness she developed spending her childhood sitting close to the television.¹

Born in Istanbul, she has said she was largely on her own as a child before her brother was born. She spent her days drawing, painting and inventing her own games and stories.¹
