Hello! I’m Nihan, the artist and founder behind benneon.

After a winding path through engineering, academia, and UX research, I’m finally pursuing my childhood dream of being an artist. I’m so glad you’re here with me at the very start of this journey!

I draw inspiration from the joyful details I notice in everyday life: a front door painted in a daring color, a bold outfit chosen with confidence, or a cozy corner lovingly arranged at home. I want my work to spark that same sense of joy in others and encourage them to bring a playful flair to the ordinary.

After trying many mediums and materials over the years, I started using gouache paint last year and haven’t looked back. Combination of gouache paint, acrylic markers and liners is currently the magic combination for me.
