Painting walls is my greatest excitement and inspiration because walls are the canvas that brings art to every person without any classification-hierarchy.

Just like the layers on the street walls, we live collage lives in the digitalized world and these collages imprison us in our cages. I paint because it gets me out of my cage.

I explore my own layers in my bunny self-portraits and speak out against limitations.

I would like to remind you that the breath is the only reality in the heart series.

The moon is there because it is an eyewitness to every action. Aysen Karakaya

Hi, I’m Hazal. For the past 7 years I’ve been designing and producing pieces with stories made for bold souls with El Quinto. Believing that limited resources bring about unlimited creativity, I always start out with wood as my main material. I create every collection with a different story in mind. Color palettes unattached from trends and assortive geometric forms are indispencable. Every single piece I’ve designed is made in my studio in İstanbul under ethical conditions. Thanks to everyone who showed an interest in El Quinto from day one and have made it a part of their lives, I happily continue creating.
