Boran Günday was born in 1999 in Istanbul, Turkey. He began his artistic journey through digital design and has focused on painting since 2022. Having developed his practice outside of formal institutions, Günday works with a concept-driven approach. He uses a childlike visual language to explore themes such as capitalism, authority, war, and systemic forms of oppression. By combining naïve forms with grotesque imagery, his work invites viewers to reflect not only on aesthetics but also on the underlying structures of the systems we live in. His paintings have been exhibited in various group shows in Istanbul.

Boran Günday begins his abstract works by contemplating human existence and its malevolent actions. For the artist, the concept of “evil” begins at the point where individual freedom ends or is restricted: murder, war, massacre, theft, mobbing, and similar acts. He draws from cinematic photographs of such events and abstracts them, stripping away their negative identities.

Through this intentional process of "purification," he aestheticizes photographs containing both psychological and physical violence. For both the artist and society, abstraction is a routine; the habit of abstracting such events in newspapers, films, media, and real life—to lessen or erase their destructive impact on the individual—is the cornerstone of Günday’s artistic practice.
