Based in Tokyo, Moureaux’s work was inspired by the layers and colors of Tokyo that built a complex depth and density on the street, as well as the Japanese traditional spatial elements like sliding screens. Handling colors as a medium to compose space, her wish is to evoke emotion through colors, with her creations ranging from art and design to architecture.

“In 1995, a week-long trip to Tokyo as an architectural student gave me the passion for colors,” she writes on her website. “An overwhelming number of store signs, flying electrical cables, and the fragments of blue sky between various volumes of buildings – it was the flow of staggering colors pervading the street that built a complex depth and density, creating three-dimensional layers in the city of Tokyo. I felt a lot of emotions seeing all these colors, and in that very moment, I decided to move to this city.”

“Inspired by the traditional Japanese spatial elements like the sliding screens, I began my exploration of ‘surface’ shikiri, gradually developing into thinner colors – ‘line’ shikiri,” she explains. Her exploration of the form of color through surface and lines ranges in scale, from a small art piece to architecture.

“I want to give emotion through colors,” she stressed, “whether it is architecture or an art piece. Through my creation, I want people to see colors, touch colors, and feel colors with their senses. The overflowing effects of colors in space will show that colors can give more than a space, but a space with additional layers of human emotion.”

A haunting, almost ghosting, sensation pervades his work. Whether inspired by built form or natural context, his art is constructed by an armature of light. Light, or what looks like atmosphere or fog, is engaged in either defining space or dematerializing the landscape or architectural elements depicted. 

This treatment of light, combined with an unclear relationship of the viewer’s place in relation to the ground plane, creates a spatial disconnect with an ambiguity of depth and motion. A feeling of disorientation might creep in when looking at his black and white illustrations. In some drawings, the viewer appears to be floating and is looking both up and down at the same time.

“My daughters, who are eight and five, consistently complain that my drawings are ‘too scary,'” admitted Tulay in an interview with Mass Cultural Council. “They will ask me ‘Why can’t you draw something nice, with color, like with a rainbow?’ Once in a while, however, I’ll do a drawing, and they’ll tilt their heads to the side and say ‘Not bad, Dad.’ This scares me.”

Enter his disorienting space (but do so at your own risk!):

As it says on his Instagram profile, he’s an “architect with the soul of a carpenter”. Drawing the world around him is what makes him happy and he does it with a great attention to detail.
