The artist, upon trying to develop her interest in fine arts since her high school years, carried this amateur profession to a professional level with her studies in fine arts in Pennsylvania State University. The artist's works, which were earlier in nature than some of her colleagues' in Cyprus with the influence of her studies in America, have traces from these movements. The artist, who adopts a minimal look with the use of geometric patterns and limited (usually two) colors in some of her paintings, has created a painting with colorful dots on a pink background in the collection, demonstrating the effects of the Abstract Expressionism movement, which has an important place in the North American art. The artist, whose admiration of the colors of Cyprus is reflected in her paintings, also shows the brightness of the colors and the visibility of the light through the use of acrylic paint. Atakol, who has been working as an art teacher for many years after her return to Cyprus, also presents her own line and colors with the nested figure drawings that we can see in the collection. The artist, who paints the figures with materials such as charcoal and felt-tip pens through the use of ink and watercolors, allows us to see the different movements of the figures on a background. Like Atakol's other works of art, this feature is like plural experiences that allow us to understand the process rather than the result.
