SHADOW BY MURAT AKSAKAL

You can tell the human beings in these paintings are in a lot of suffering by looking at them. They feel dissatisfied and helpless in the face of massive devastation. They represent the rage that lies beneath our smiles and wordless screams. Instead of burying our suppressed emotions in bright and colourful paintings, I want them to smack you in the face with a fading effect - a technique I have picked up.

It's a therapeutic concept. The more we face them, the better we will understand the source of darkness inside us. These individuals serve as a mirror for our traumas, frustrations, and doubts. Now you'll be able to see your reflections.
