Statement
Title of the series: ” My Territory “

I attempt to reach a state of stability in my artworks and it stands for the presence of life in the particles of existence and expresses the growth, evolution of the realm and territory of the lived experience which represents the deficiency of meaning in modern man. For me, the beginning of life was accompanied by the discovery of evolved secrets of femininity and fertility, and according to this, I tried to create images of the recreated collapsed human and animal identity. ” My Territory ” is about the adaptation and comparison of abstract icons of animal and human elements. Paying attention to the narrative aspect of stories and myths in culture was a turning point for me in analyzing the relationship between form and content. Despite all this, I was looking for something else. For me, the mysterious relationship between animals and human thoughts in ancient times led to a starting point and was an end to the never solving questions in my mind.

The subject of my artwork was the loss of paying attention to the true meaning of human relationships and the interaction of animals with the world. The visual contradictions and paradoxes that are present in my paintings in a post-modern tone come from the synthesis of tradition and modern times and it redefines the presence of modern man in relation to the concept of femininity, fertility, and the secrets surrounding it. ” My Territory ” is a series of works showing a life experience that tries to represent the true concepts of these phenomena. ” My Territory “، is a search for tasting the joy of life through understanding the conversion of quiddity.

The technique of the works, acrylic colors, and Sand Painting leads the viewer to small narratives of the collapse and restoration of identity, and by depicting shadows and lights, it shows the hidden layers of the truths of the nature of existence.
