Seda Pound is known for her boldly colored oil paintings that reinterpret classic landscape themes in a contemporary fashion. With intuition guiding her color choices and composition, Seda paints from photographs and impressions from her travels around the world. She enjoys keeping her subject matter familiar and exploring new palettes, texture and shapes, resulting in paintings that are at once unexpected yet accessible.

“I believe that nature’s bold, saturated colors can trigger strong emotions and touch our souls. I love to create quasi-abstract landscapes to evoke particular moods and feelings with clean composition, color, and geometry. During my painting process, I plan my lines, forms and shapes but I let go with my colors and let my instincts lead the way to create an intuitive harmony. My surroundings continually influence my work, and painting is my way to show the world around us in a new light.”

Seda works from her home studio and exhibits her paintings through her website, social media, regional galleries and museums. She has shown her artwork in multiple cities in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Seda’s art has received numerous competitive awards, including “First Place” and “Award of Excellence”.

In 2023, she was selected as one of 22 artists to create a digital reproduction of her original artwork for a 10-foot tall public art location identifier sign at the Virginia Beach Convention Center located in the ViBe Creative District of Virginia Beach, VA. She is currently the Artist in Residence at Virginia MOCA in conjunction with their Mark Dion and Alexis Rockman: Journey to Nature’s Underworld exhibition.
