About The Artwork
Artwork Description for SaatchiArt.com: A Fusion of Heart, Art, and Upcycled Glass This captivating piece, painted with Acetate Pencil, Oil Pastel, and Acrylic, holds a tale waiting to be unraveled. It is more than just colors and forms; it is a narrative shaped on upcycled glass—a testament to the artist’s commitment to sustainable artistry. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, the style is a harmonious blend of caricature and illustration. The depiction centers around a real-life muse, evident in the raw and vulnerable portrayal of a free chest, the intricate blue veins that seem to pulse with life, and a distinctive medical band belt that adds depth to the narrative. To the observant eye, the enigmatic ‘SLMCNM?’ inscribed on the right side using an Acetate Pen might raise questions or evoke introspection. The mood of the piece is profound—it’s akin to the calm that settles over one’s spirit after a storm, a reflection of peace and serenity after the climax. But beyond the artistry and emotion, there’s an inherent uniqueness to the canvas itself. Sourced from the streets of Istanbul and Dortmund, this artwork finds its home on a bow-shaped glass, a treasure discovered in Dortmund’s port area. With its vivid imagery and poignant storytelling, this piece seeks to resonate with the hearts and minds of LGBTQIA individuals but no discrimination or exclusion, I bet it’ll resonate with you darling It is not just art—it is an echo of queer narratives, a bold statement of identity, and a tribute to the stories that shape us. Invest in a piece that transcends aesthetics, one that embodies a journey, a statement, and a cause.

Im LuKo! As a queer artist based in Dortmund and a member of the Dramaqueer collective in Istanbul, I draw inspiration from the diverse tales and experiences around me. I have a particular fascination with repurposing old windows from the streets of both cities, using them as canvases for my artwork. These windows symbolize the hidden stories behind closed doors and panes. By transforming them into art, I bring these narratives into the light. My artworks reflect the motifs and individuals from both Dortmund and Istanbul. I work with a range of materials including porcelain and acetate pens, oil pastel crayons, and seal my works with spray lacquer. While I faced challenges due to my portrayal of nudity, it led to my evolution and enabled me to tell the stories of a community that's often overlooked. My motifs can be political, related to pop culture, or personal, frequently prompting discussions about sexuality and identity. Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I shine a light on queer life in Dortmund and Istanbul, especially in the context of art and social media. In today's digital age, LGBTQIA+ individuals often face challenges ranging from political propaganda to censorship. This leads me to ponder where art truly exists today: in traditional galleries or the digital realm? Our initiative at Dramaqueer Media aims to create a platform for LGBTQIA+ media content, accessible even amidst legal challenges in countries like Turkey. This platform offers space for marginalized media in a climate of political discrimination. In the digital age, LGBTQIA+ individuals confront both challenges and opportunities. While social media can be used to amplify queer voices, it can also be weaponized for censorship and oppression. I look forward to enriching this crucial conversation with my art and perspective.
