Kapadokya'yı hiç böyle gördünüz mü?

"Önce insan var olur sonra özünü oluşturur. Önce kayalar var oldu, Gunes de kayalarin özünü oluşturdu."-Aygül Bahar Yılmaz

 "İnsanların ruhunun kayalara dönüştüğü bu zamanlarda kayaların ruhunun insana dönüşüp tekrar varoluşu!" -Beycan Örgen

 "Hangisine bakarsanız bakın, isterseniz ikiye ayrılmış bir benlik, isterseniz birbirine sarmaş dolaş birbirini desteklercesine sarılmış kayalar! isterseniz kafasını toprağın altına sakladığı yumurtalarını kontrol etmek için kafasını toprağın altına sokan bir dinazora benziyen resim! Ama bunların hepsinin kaya olduğunu düşünmek, cansız olduğunu düşünmek ama baktıkça her birinde insanın kendini görmesi....... 

O toprak yığınlarına, o kaya yığınlarına hiç bu gözle bakmamıştım. 

Resimlerde parlak mavinin kullanımıyla beraber bu gri renk hem cesur hem durgun ama hem de korkutucu hem de sıcak!" -Mehmet Duman

"Resimlerin içinde bir bütünlük var. Tek tek baktığımızda bile bir bütünün parçalarını görebiliyoruz." -Seda

Birikir İnsan Gökyüzüne / Humanity Joins in a Journey to the Sky

Broken, yet still standing on the hilltop, it resists the natural pull to fall apart.  It has stood shattered for so long, its cracks have been rounded and smoothed by the elements.  Yet stubbornly it holds on to its form, defiant yet doomed at the same time.  It cannot stand forever, and someday its pieces will be scattered over the hill side.  But until that day when gravity destroys it completely, it will stand.

Everything starts with dreaming something. I don't have a single dream. I have millions of dreams, everyday, every night, every second. It doesn't matter where or when. I just have them. Sometimes they are becoming true, sometimes they are waiting to become true. Why am I telling my dreams to you? Because this is how I gave the name to this painting. I had a dream in a dream last night. Someone told me to sleep in my dream. I know it sounds really weird. Then she said there are things she wants to tell me! And I slept again in my dream. She hold my head and said "Heaven is inside of you" of course she said it in Turkish which means "Cennet senin içinde" I don't know why but I was really scared to hear what else she was going to tell me and I didn't want to hear and I forced myself to wake up. I was up from the second dream in my dream but I was still in the first dream with Adam who was next to me. I showed the ground to him and I said "We have to feed them" and I was holding some cheese. Then finally I woke from the dream inside dream. I was feeling really weird after I woke up.

This was one of my dreams. I have been thinking of a name for this painting and finally found a name.  Even though I don't like sharing my dreams I wanted to share this because it seems like it gives me a message and I thought It might give you a message as well.  I guess we are not really 100% satisfied with our lives and we complain about lots of things which are not really important. And we make our lives really miserable sometimes. We should stop doing this to ourselves. I thought about it after the dream and now I believe that heaven is inside of me!

And now it feels like that this painting is a garden of heaven with moving blue sky and with green, yellow, and red grasses which surround a big rock!

 These rocks came alive in my mind; they had personalities.  And so I drew them not as the weathered formations that exist, but as living organisms that twist and merge, that form into impossible shapes.

I was in Cappadocia, Turkey for my honeymoon and I wanted to capture some of the unique rock formations in the area. Volcanic activity resulted in several layers of rock in the area of varying hardness, and the uneven erosion resulted in the Fairy Chimneys, seen in this piece
