Revan Karaca

Revan Karaca is a German-Turkish painter based in Leipzig, a city known for its vibrant art scene in the former Eastern Germany. Growing up as the second generation of Turkish immigrants in Germany and experiencing the well-known identity struggles and discrimination faced by Turkish-Germans sparked her interest in political and societal critical thinking. She later studied computer science, psychology, and philosophy, and began creating work that explores themes of social belonging and cultural identity.

At the age of three, Karaca's talent for painting was noticed. Over the years, she learned to work with a variety of media, including watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, woodcut printing, media art, and photography, but ultimately remained committed to oil painting. Karaca addresses controversial topics in her work by creating aesthetic paintings with a humorous yet thought-provoking depth
