Painter Gülümay Çiraz will present her painting exhibition themed "Ayıntab Bastası", consisting of her works using mixed techniques on canvas, to art lovers at SANKO Art Gallery on February 2, 2024.
Stating that art lovers will discover how feelings and thoughts evolve over time in the exhibition, Gülümay Çiraz said, "We will share the depths of my inner world with art lovers and go on an art journey together."
Explaining that experiences turn into unforgettable memories that enrich his art and allow him to meet different perspectives, Çiraz said: “Art is expected to be derivative. The intensity of our emotions and thoughts eliminates the true reflection of the objects we see. The same idea is expressed in different ways. Temporal differences in emotions and thoughts help us create a balance on the ground. When we interpret what we see at the beginning with the intensity of emotion and thought in later studies, we can see that it displays a much different perspective than its first projection. The concepts of emotion, thought and time in the formation process enable us to reach the whole. The depth of emotion in our world transforms and integrates what we want to express into values independent of us.”
Stating that opening an exhibition in Gaziantep, where he was born and raised, was very meaningful and special for him, Çiraz said, "I can't wait to meet the art lovers of Gaziantep in the magical world of art." The painting exhibition themed "Ayıntab Bastası", which will include 27 works by Gülümay Çiraz, will open at SANKO Art Gallery on Friday, February 2, 2024, at 17.30.
