Inspired by Şeytan Sofrası (Devil’s Table), a mystical hilltop overlooking the Aegean islands near Ayvalık, Turkey, this is my first work directly inspired by a place in my homeland.
What began as a planned diptych in my London studio gradually expanded beyond its original boundaries. As I painted, I began seeing the continuation of the landscape in my imagination, revealing the complete scene panel by panel. The process reminded me of Michelangelo’s… philosophy of revealing what already exists within the material. The result became the largest original polyptych I have created to date.
A place I regularly visited during my summers in Turkey, Şeytan Sofrası is famous for its spectacular sunsets and the legend of the devil’s footprint, where visitors toss coins and make wishes.
First exhibited at my solo show at Burgh House, a historic Queen Anne house in Hampstead dating from 1704, the work connects two contrasting worlds through memory, mythology and intuition.

« My dream is to be recognized as a great Turkish woman artist in history, I spend every moment of my life with this aim. »
Özlem Thompson is a Turkish-born contemporary artist known for her vivid, dreamlike paintings that combine influences from nature, science, mythology, and abstract modernism. Originally trained in Biology and Botany, she later completed postgraduate studies in exotic plants and industrial design, experiences that continue to shape the organic forms and intricate visual textures found throughout her work. Since moving to London in 2015, Thompson has built an international reputation for expressive large-scale acrylic paintings inspired by Mediterranean landscapes, imagination, and emotional storytelling. Her studio practice is based in Belsize Park, in a historic artists’ building once associated with Piet Mondrian and Ben Nicholson.
Since 2018, Thompson has exhibited extensively across the UK, Europe, and the United States. Her exhibitions include shows in New York, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Paris, Barcelona, and London, with notable appearances at the Swiss Art Expo, ArtExpo Paris.
