The artist defines herself through her works at a point “where the material meets the non-material” as she puts it.
"…Her works preserve a deep historical – cultural background, all the connotations and stress of the present, and an endless inference and peace for the future.
Themes varying from human life to the secrets and chaos of the nature transform into peace with endless connotations
of a work which has its own freedom;
solid, deep, self confident, like a dervish whispering profound thoughts."

Nilhan Sesalan whose works are in numerous collections, parks and museums around the world can be regarded as the representative of lyrical abstraction. The artist who also contributes to life with her designs and writings says in a poem:
“I love my thoughts,
the process in which they make me believe…
when I am convinced they will not leave me
I transfer them to a material and I say ‘done’.
With that energy, I can hold
my breath longer
and find power for life.”
