Giving information about his own picture, Yılmaz said the following: "Since the founding of the Republic, it has been celebrated with great love in every geography of Turkey from 7 to 70. In the past 100 years, I have seen an uncle who was close to the Republic and young children I depicted the republic celebrations they held sincerely together.
I wanted to convey in our painting how it aroused excitement even in the remotest corners of Anatolia, instead of celebrations in modern cities. "I aimed to express in the painting that they appreciated this day and made an effort to celebrate with the banner they prepared with their own hands and carried in front of them."
The 100 Years in the Light of the Republic group art exhibition can be visited by art lovers until November 7.
