Idil Tufekcioglu

Hello visitor, how are you today? I hope you’re doing well, welcome to my blog. I’m really excited to share my digital space. This is Idil, Idil Tufekcioglu. You might find my last name hard to pronounce because it is Turkish, where I’m from. I recently moved to London for my education. I am a first year BA Advertising student at London college of communication. I would like you to introduce you to my “Myblog”, where I share my course work, my thoughts, my experiences as foreign student and my products. 

As you start to explore my page you can see my mood-board. Which is about both motorsport, especially Formula 1, and fashion. So I tried to represent myself in the simplest form in my colour palette. You can also read my creative writing. It is a short story I have written about healing my mental health with makeup art during lock down. Although this is all I have uploaded at the moment I intend to become more active in sharing my lifestyle, my thoughts and my products. 

Thank you so much for your time and listening to me, I hope you follow me on this journey.and wherever you are whatever you are doing you and your opinions matter so I would love to hear your feedback so feel free to leave a comment.

           Healing With Art

It was a journey about healing and finding myself again with art. During lockdown, I had a very challenging time with my mental health. Every day alone in my room, restricting my artistic personality from inspiration. One night I looked in the mirror, not knowing who stared back at me. I felt like two strangers were staring at each other. I was lost. I found my hand going through my makeup tools as I thought about the softness of the brushes, reminding me how I used to enhance my features with makeup before school every morning. The bitter feeling made my eyes water as a tear ran down my cheek and fell on my makeup palette. Saw colors I hadn’t seen in months. I picked a brush and rushed into the color green as I dabbed it around my eye, almost covering half of my face. The shades of green contoured a shape of a creature framed by a red pigment scar. The alien inside me emerged from my body. It was the first time that I saw my wound concrete. I took a good look at it before I wept it away; I was ready to separate the venomous dark feelings and heal with the abstractness of art. Thus, now I am healing and moving forward positively using my brushes. 

This is my mood board.

My mood board is about women who is interested in motorsport and fashion. For the color palette I chose dark and vibrant colours. I am a car & Formula 1 enthusiast also someone who enjoys fashion very much, with the colours that I chose I tried to represent my interests in the simplest form.
