Hümeyra is a self-taught painter based in Berlin-Kreuzberg with a background in psychology. Since childhood, she has maintained a deeply intuitive and personal relationship with painting. While she developed technical skills in acrylic and oil painting through community art courses, her practice has primarily evolved through self-directed exploration alongside her academic studies in which she focuses on the psychological mechanisms of racist socialization and internalized racism - These issues also shape her artistic perspective and inform her decision to mirror lived experience through painting.

Working primarily through portraiture, Hümeyra uses body language and facial expression as central tools to explore emotion, identity, and the ways individuals make sense of themselves and the world around them. Her work often centers on the perception and agency of both Muslim and non-Muslim women within patriarchal structures.

For Hümeyra, painting is a means of self-location, emotional reflection, and critical engagement with complex social realities.
