LET THE LIGHT IN - Gallery Nurol-Bodrum 2014
For me painting has a smell, I was born into a house smelling of linseed oil with naturel turpentine. My first art, art history, and mythology teachers were my father, my mother and my grandfather. My parents taught me how to draw . Also I learned some costume design from my mother and the basic principles of photography from my father. Basically they showed me: art is an enduring way of life.
If you ask me why abstract art: I had already learned how to make classical drawings in my childhood and I wanted to travel to other areas in the art fields . I explored my inner journey while I was traveling through the art fields. I began to create forms and colors from my basic insticts. Instead of leading art viewers in a specific directıon and dictating known forms to them, I prefer that we create and share our dreams together. For me there is no abstract art. There are only deviating, unconscious forms. When you view abstract art, and you have a strong imagination you can meet your own forms and forms never seen before. Abstract paitings may look easy but every point on the painting is consciously and artistically balanced. This can only be achieved if you have a strong subconscious drowing and colour knowledge. I wish I could make pure and naïve children’s paintings, but adult’s life experiences, mathematics and physical balance of forms in our minds are far removed from this purity. But this is the best choice to approximate the pure children’s expressions: transforming your inner feelings and emotional situation with paintings, drawings, and 3d plastic forms. Recently I focus on abstract images although I can create classical drawings and familiar images as well. My art works in this exhibition are oil on canvas but at the same time I am always open to other materials. Artist should always be free.
Forms and colors have very strong influence on people’s emotions and has very strong impressions on people’s lives accordingly. Forms and colors recall past experiences’ memories: a dark sky image can make us depressive, some colors or some forms can make us angry. They can remind us of death, war, demolishment. They can feed and enlarge our fears. My way to change people’s shadow feelings is to reanimate positive feelings and bring about a higher vibration frequency. I always feel connected to nature when I am working. When I am painting I dream of the powerful healing of plants, the pure energy from love-filled animals, a clear sea mixed with a blue sky, the glory of trees to move my viewers to ecstasy.
If the images created by human beings bring compassion, love, embrace and if people accept their own existence this will lead to a mutual conscience of being part of a whole. Mankind will change to a peaceful frequency. We can’t see colors and forms without light. If our colors and forms come from purity, its vibrations will be more powerful and constructive.
Today , people are complaining about a world of suffering. The best way to change this is to create luminous images. We should not forget that thought is frequency and can materialize into physical things. The more luminous thoughts we create the more colorful our life will be.
Let the light in.
