Dr. Selin Yılmaz is an internationally recognized curator specializing in the intersection of luxury hospitality and contemporary art. With a doctorate from the Sorbonne, her approach combines rigorous academic insight with a deep understanding of the commercial needs of high-end hotel environments.

Over the past fifteen years, she has curated over 40 permanent collections for luxury hotels across Europe and the Middle East. Her philosophy centers on 'Narrative Curation'—the belief that art should not just decorate a space, but tell a story that connects the guest to the local culture and heritage in a profound, contemporary way.

She has been a vocal advocate for emerging Turkish artists, frequently commissioning site-specific works that bridge traditional craft with avant-garde aesthetics. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Wallpaper*, and Artforum.
