The teacher Painting

• Artwork title : Teacher 2019 • Material : Acrylics on canvas • Dimensions : 100*100 cm (39,37 *39,37 inches) • Ships in a tube This painting was created for a team exhibition with a concept concerning childhood. I focused on the educational system and teacher ‘s role. I used the central woman figure as a symbol for education, and the details around her, as some aspects of learning. These aspects are not only related to letters and numbers but also include creative activities and human behaviors. The Greek texts inside the painting try to point out, in a poetic way, that we should try for a better world, open minded and responsible. The process of doing this artwork started with some colored sketches which I composed in a 40*40 cm collage. Finally, I enlarged this collage into the current 100*100 cm dimension. The painting is varnished with two layers of varnish, so that a gently cleaning with water is possible.
