All the colors of our life struggle are hidden in our memories. Everything else is pitch black... "The Old Man and the Sea" depicts an old man sitting in a tiny boat in the middle of the sea. The man is a fisherman and is out to sea alone. There is nothing around him but the vast sea and the sky. Tired and determined... The painting is composed in a vertical format and according to the rule of thirds. The old man is at the center of the picture. The boat and the sea horizon are symmetrically placed around him. This composition emphasizes the man's loneliness and smallness in the face of the vastness of the sea. The painting is generally painted in cold and gloomy tones. The dominant colors are gray, blue and brown. These colors emphasize the width and depth of the sea and the sky. The man's face and hands are painted in warmer tones. This symbolizes his vitality and hope. The old man in the painting symbolizes the struggle for life and man's loneliness in the face of nature. The small boat represents the fragility of man and his helplessness in the face of the power of nature. The vast sea symbolizes infinity and the fear of the unknown. The painting "The Old Man and the Sea" was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's novel of the same name. The novel tells the story of an old fisherman's struggle with a giant marlin. The painting symbolizes this struggle.

Erkan has been always in movie sets since his childhood as the son of a Turkish Producer Nihat Cerit. When he was 10, he was trained about optical illusions effect done by mirrors. His life has changed once his father gave him a gift, it was a Commodore 64. One year after Commodore 64's world launch, a 12 year old boy, Erkan fell in love with computers. At home he developed simple computer games and computer programs by turning numeric formulas into visual images, in QBasic language. When he presented these to Teleteknik, (the representative of Commodore in Turkey), he became the youngest employee of Teleteknik at age 13. He wanted to learn more but there was no "master" or mentor about computers at that time so he had to work on his own. Erkan continued his education while working at Teleteknik , he was not spending too much time at school but was getting good grades. Doctors reported him as child with "High IQ." Unfortunately there was no special school for him and he was getting bored at school so he quit his education. He got graduated from High School at age 17 through a special exam. In 1986, he started working at Goldstar Turkey as freelance programmer. In 1988, he started working at Apple Computers Turkey and got trained on Desktop publishing, Computer Aided Design and Graphic Design.

He developed neurosurgery & microsurgery video recording facility for Uludag University. In 1994, SGI, Silicon Graphics Inc. contacted Erkan and he became the Media Advisor for SGI and started preparing media coverage on Virtual Reality. When Telecine wanted to purchase SGI server, and they also asked Erkan to work with them. He got trained in 3 dimensional photo-realistic design and visualization by Telecine Corp & SGI.
