While trying to create an environment that allows visual culture to establish, dismantle and transform its bond with the art of miniature painting, the process of combining the images that daily life — which is visual culture itself — leaves behind in dreams, and the effort to leave a mark on the surface from a perspective never tried before, makes my process of giving meaning to art ever more intricate day by day. If the one thing that must stand above all values and concepts can be called “art,” then it must also allow everything to be transformed and redefined.
The sum of the subjects that the art of miniature painting has dealt with up to the present defines the miniature as traditional and conservative, yet also shows that it needs experimental processes to ensure its continuity.
The Catharsis series, by experimentally combining the possibilities and the limits of questioning of art in this context, creates a contradiction by addressing the concept of the casino — a subject of popular culture — while at the same time allowing the notion of casino culture to be questioned within the framework of visual culture. Although catharsis is defined as a process of expression and relief, the images produced not only express this definition but also reveal that the artist experienced this experimental process as a period of rupture and purification for himself.
Wishing you to remain with art, which is inclusive of everything and independent of everything.
