Artist statement

I aim to create works that are both visually and emotionally impactful. I pair storytelling with bold, simplistic design to create groups of prints—collections—that accomplish this.

Artist bio

Alara Bulur is a self-taught artist based in Toronto, Canada. She specializes in relief printmaking and has been producing work in this medium since 2024.

Alara was first introduced to printmaking through a fine arts elective at the University of Waterloo, where she majored in Computer Science. After graduating in 2025, she decided to pursue art full-time, and has since put her degree to good use by building this website from scratch.

On craftsmanship

Each print within an edition is a bit different. Small flaws and imperfections (variations in texture, colour, etc.) that appear during the printmaking process are welcome reminders that each work is made by a person, not a machine.

Please also note that:

  • All works are 8x10 in (15x20 cm).
  • All works are hand-carved.
  • All works are hand-pressed.
