Gülden Kaynar

Gülden Kaynar,
She is a contemporary painting artist from Istanbul. She completed her education at Mimar Sinan University (MSÜ), one of the oldest universities in Turkey, Department of Performing Arts. Before devoting her time to painting, she worked as an Art Director, including decor design and implementation, in many commercials for 15 years. Additionally, she has stage/art design work in various TV series, movies and promotional films.

“As a professional sensitivity from the past, I paint paintings that refer to the films I watch. The main emotion in my paintings is sometimes created by a scene from these movies and sometimes by the harmony of a music I listen to.

While I respect the concepts of classical art, I stay away from objective or figurative analogies. I lose myself in the flow of the paint and pursue my own harmony and color compositions on a surface with certain boundaries.
While I direct the natural flow of paint to express an emotion or mood, I also care about maintaining balance in the harmony and dynamics of color tones.

My aim in doing this is to make the viewer enjoy my paintings, in which I try to express myself with my positive and constructive emotions. I continue to produce with this motivation."
