Family portrait

Exhibition 18 October-12 November 2018 was opened at
Gallery Selvin Istanbul .

For the past eight years, it has been an important part of my work in animal representation. At first I felt a general sense of admiration and I was watching them almost as a representation of freedom. Over time, my awareness has increased and I felt the need to represent these living forms. Somehow, my works are not limited to the reproduction of animal forms, but to be an expression of my way of understanding nature and its relationship with it. I understand I’m a part of the system, not from above. Our planet lives on the balance that mankind usually challenges, so it is important for me to emphasize the need to establish relationships with the world and its creatures. Respecting other forms of life is a form of respect and respect for myself. So I draw attention to the animals and represent them as centralists. I represent the dead animals, the victims of the human condition (bull), representing free and unlimited migratory birds, representing the family I share this planet with.
