Kim Mihri/ Who Is Mihri

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Composed and orchestrated by Eleni Lomvardou.

4Tay Records is proud to present Kim Mihri/ Who Is Mihri. The film tells painter Mihri’s untold story. Director Berna Gençalp decided to trace Mihri’s journey from late Ottoman era Istanbul onward to Rome, Paris, and New York. The composer says, “I did not know much about Mihri before getting involved in this project, but the more I learnt about her as a painter, a pioneer, an adventurer, a fighter, a dreamer, the more I identified with her, developed great respect and admiration for her. Her art, her life, her passion, her work, her dedication, deserve to gain worldwide appreciation and recognition, for she is the female artist that could and should set an example for all of us to get inspired by and follow. And this is exactly what I hope for, that this film will bring her back to life to motivate and encourage young women all over the world to follow their dreams with no fear.”
