Solo Abstract Painting Exhibition 2023
A year ago, I celebrated my 20th anniversary with the exhibition 'Yesterday I was, Tomorrow I will be,' which told the story of my past up to 2022, with uncertainty about what lies ahead.
Over the past year, numerous experiences have deeply affected my life and soul. I embarked on a journey within myself, met my inner child, and encountered every emotion and feeling with nowhere to escape or hide. The very core of my existence shifted, and solitude crept in. It was then that I turned to the healing power of music without even realizing it.
This exhibition unveils my emotions through the lens of songs, explored from the perspectives of love and life. The messages within those songs have been my solace, while the melodies shaped my emotions. The songs have evoked vivid images from my past, even love songs, each with its unique meaning, stirring my thoughts and emotions, contributing to my sense of self-worth. Questions like 'Do I deserve a new chapter in love?' sometimes arise, along with reminiscences about my past relationships, the pursuit of love in various forms, and even the act of self-love, wondering if I can be my own sanctuary. These shifts in life have somewhat blurred the core of my existence. How can I rekindle the very essence of that core? The enigmatic and unforeseen elements reside within the songs.
Each song reflects my love, memories, images, and emotions from those bygone days, forming the essence of all the artwork on display today. I chose to employ a mix of mediums and styles to create abstract pieces, as the imagery evoked by the songs takes on various forms, expressing diverse emotions. The same song can sound different on various days, and its meaning can vary from person to person. Therefore, these abstract creations need not adhere to a single method. I no longer subscribe to the notion of limiting or confining myself.
Throughout my life, openly expressing my feelings like in this exhibition has been a rare endeavor. I hope that everyone can experience my work through the music, colors, and techniques, and perhaps, like me, find resonance with a particular melody or lyrics.
