ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Night before creating this painting , I watched " Wonder Wheel " which is directed by " Woody Allen ". I was moved and fascinated by his talent and his fate of New York . The Neon lights in the amusement park and its reflection on " Kate Winslet " face was awesome . The last long shot of her solo speech , since she is drunk, broken and still love seeker is phenomenal . That was the time I decided to create her on my painting . The day after I met my nude model in my studio and Oh My God ... Her Body type was like "Kate Winslet" and her lips and her poses .... She was there many hours and I were listening to ' Coney Island " Songs repeatedly and unbelievably sketching expressive charcoal and acrylic paintings one after one .....

Human body and its movements are the most intricate, sophisticated structures our eyes are exposed to. The fluidness and continuity of human movements along with the shapes the body takes during these movements, create a picture in our eyes full of smooth curves musically related to each other. This is what I try to capture in my work blending the body and its motions with music I hear and the rapture I feel in my mind . "Family Dreams" Project's statement : Today’s society is a conglomeration of children of yesterday. The children who witness the interactions and relations between their parents and other family members. The child’s memory is full of colors juxtaposing patterns shaped by the surrounding characters and deformed by their personalities. Reminiscing those memories bring tears to her eyes instead of smiles to her face. She finds her soul crushing under the pressure of pain, watching her mother’s detestable and odious treatment of her father. She sees her father desperately trying to bond the family together and to prevent its disintegration while the mother is ripping it apart with her unbearable sorrow, extreme anxieties, and hate. The mother’s shape is warped and distorted. The father is a collection of soft curves that do not belong to their rightful place and seem scattered and disoriented. The rest of the family fills gaps of the palette wherever the mother leaves them spaces to be and to breathe. And mother’s agitations force the children to swarm to any gaps they find in the palette where they can find some peace. Today, these children have grown to be adults. They see themselves as the harvest of what was sown years ago by those who touched their life. Recognizing the edicts of color and form, they try to portray on every palette, the story of a day of life, more sad than happy, long gone but still fresh in their mid and soul.
