About The Artwork
The concept of circumcision has an important place in the culture of my country. Boys take the first step towards manhood as circumcision. An entertainment is organized for the child to be circumcised. This entertainment is called the circumcision wedding. This ceremony differs according to the family's place in the society and financial power. If the family is rich and powerful, the circumcision wedding will be so glorious. The place in the painting is the village where I spent my childhood and my grandfather's village house. Here I re-enacted a pre-wedding moment when the youngest child was riding a horse and the oldest child was shooting into the air before the guests arrived. In the village, circumcision weddings are usually held at night. Today, this village is abandoned and the houses are empty. This house of my grandfather in the painting was also partially destroyed in the Düzce earthquake on November 12, 1999 and became unusable.

Turkey
I am a Turkish painter born in Istanbul and living in Aydın. While continuing my Civil Engineering education, I left there and studied Archeology and Art History. I work in painting mediums such as Oil Painting, Gouache, Oil Pastel and Acrylic. I have continued my art studies, which I started in high school, uninterruptedly until today. Although I am technically self-taught, I gained art culture and knowledge largely thanks to my education in Archeology and Art History. In my paintings, I generally use my albums consisting of my surroundings, old family photos, photographs I have taken, and photographs I have cut and collected from various publications over the years. My paintings are documents of my existence in this world, my perspective, and the experiences I have had so far. If the instant emotion it evokes in me when I look at any image is really sharp and strong, that image or emotion is a candidate to be reflected on the canvas. What the viewer gets is a unique feeling blended with their own memories and experiences. But inevitably there will be places where our worlds intersect in some way.
