ART FROM HIS
POINT OF VIEW
The silent and
unnamed unhappines that comes from un expressed feelings from his childhood
finds a path on white sheet of paper with the help of a pencil, and by the time
passes, he finds himself got relaxed and got rid of his worries through
drawing.
According to
him, his paintings were just simple drawings - maybe, as his primary
teacher said; a few ridiculous shapes. But he was happy then. Everything had
changed the day when he showed one of his drawings to a friend of his. World
got a meaning for him because that friend admired his drawing and adviced him
not to throw away any of those drawings. After 2-3 drawings,he started having
his own archive.When he wanted to paint, without thinking about the concept or
style, without caring the time and place, he just touched the white sheet and
desires, unexpressed feelings, hopes, pain beginned to have shapes.
According to
him, the beauty of his paintings is hidden in the times full of feelings that
have effects on him and the others. No matter the drawings are simple or
complicated.
Painting turned
out to be the language of the things that he couldn't even dreamed of, he tried
to draw his dreams but he became more and more enthusiastic when he
realized that he couldn't achieve this. His only will is to increase the number
of his paintings from 200 to thousands, ten thousands and share them with the
entire world.
