The five worlds or Unnecessary transformation acryl, acryl glass, wood, high polish gilding, gold leaf on convas 220 x 380 cm, 2016
The five worlds or unnecessary transformation
was created at the Heiligenkreuzerhof, an annex of the Universitaet fuer angewandte Kunst Wien.
My colleague, the visual artist Demetrius writes the following about this artwork :
“The five worlds of unnecessary transformation” is a stunning, large-format work that commands the space through its sheer presence. When viewed from a distance, the composition’s clear geometric forms create an interplay between the symmetry of the five round worlds and the asymmetry of the black grid through which they are seen.
A closer look at the image reveals a new dimension of rich form and three-dimensionality, arising from the use of diverse materials such as wood
anacrylic glass; the continuity of these materials across the areas of the worlds painted over in black evokes a tactile sensation. The opulent gold background adds yet another facet to this interplay of texture and sharp detail through its shifting appearance depending on the viewing angle—at times radiating warm light, at others reflecting the viewer, or placing the composition within a sacred context—gold, the flesh of the gods, the symbol of eternity.

I painted this artwork in Istanbul immediately after the suicide bombing in Suruç on July 20, 2015.
A memorial to all the young people who are no longer among us.
Before we close the zip fastener, we remember them by letting them speak to us themselves :
suddenly we heard a big crash and a messive impact put us down
on the ground and only darkness was around us we were dead our fight for peace humanity and democracy was over but we are sure in the end the good will win.
