After graduating from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Gül Ilgaz continued her education by participating in various activities abroad. The artist participated in international exhibitions in Brussels, Milan, London, Paris, Toulouse, Taskent, Toronto, Utrecht, Sofia, Ljubliana, Skopje and Hang Zhou. She took part in the 'In Limbo' exhibition.
In Gül Ilgaz's works, her own experiences and emotional states form the starting point. The fact that those who come out of their own experiences can meet with the audience on a certain common ground is the biggest factor that motivates the artist. Multilayeredness, auto-biographical elements, identity, body, and occasionally art-historical references are seen in his works.
