Description
In all these paintings I aimed to create an emotional and spiritual experience, attempted to express the unity of the world by using symbols, picturing connection between the visible and the invisible, the accustomed and the mysterious.
The First Panel - " Cappadocia".The Cappadocia is a region where many diverse civilizations lived. In this painting the wise man
( aksakal) and Gabriel represent the heritage of this region. They are blending with endless sky, and the fairy chimneys, and inviting to slow down, and have some tea: " Conversations without tea are like a night without moon ( çaysiz sohbet, aysiz gok yuzu gibidir)"
The Second Panel- "Turkey"
In this painting, the girl dressed up for Henna Night symbolized the negotiation of a new Turkish identity as a country. She blends with natural background as a part of it. Here are some concerns and hope. I expressed my hope for this country by painting tulips, symbols of Turkey, pointing on Tulip Era, the peaceful and wealthy era in Turkish history, the Ottoman Renaissance.
The Third Panel - " Cappadocia. Part. Two"
In this painting the young rider and the ancient saint on the lion(aslan) symbolized my thoughts and feelings about recent situation in Turkey, which affected many young men. Aslan for Turkish people is not only word for the lion as an animal, it represents the brave man, the strong and courageous person, the solder.
