About The Artist

I was born in Turkey in 1972. I've studied Mathematics, Woodworks Industrial Engineering and Fine Arts. I've participated many solo & group exhibitions in Turkey and the UK. "In my paintings, the figures being alone represent the human being's 'situation of being on someone's own' is the obligatory requirement to comprehend the 'time' as pure. Each figure of mine is 'Dasein'. As Heidegger's use; it is aware of existing in the time temporarily and feeling its existence. Constantly. While 'Dasein' as a reference to the figure's self awareness, in the paintings awareness leads being realized." I am currently living and working in Izmir - Turkey. karayilan72@hotmail.com
