Accordion Series

Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin’s “Accordion Series” is inspired by the accordion’s breath-like quality, reminiscent of human lungs. The sound of this instrument shifts the artist’s mood—evoking nostalgia, romance, sadness, and joy all at once. Each painting reflects what the accordion reminds her of and makes her feel. Notably, “Accordion Series Composition XIII – Wedding Orchestra” captures the spirit of a wedding night and the love between an accordion player and a dancer. This series transforms the emotional power of music into a visual narrative, inviting viewers on an introspective journey.
