Oil Paintings
In this period, her paintings are described and expressed through shapes that are cut into forms without adhering to a predetermined pattern, as if they are cut directly from the heart rather than the hand or mind. Generally, her paintings are based on her personal experiences and perception of life.
Every human being carries within a veil that accompanies them throughout their life journey. This veil can have any color or idea; it can be good or bad, and overcoming or parting with it is a prolonged process. A particular challenge for her when approaching each painting is contemplating how she might reconstruct the world from the beginning. Ideally, she seeks to create a utopia in modern terms—a place without wars, physical destruction, poverty, or death.
While thinking about this, she realizes that to witness change, she must first start with herself. In moments like these, when one considers that there are more important matters to discuss and that people are becoming increasingly self-centered about their existence, she contemplates the notions coloring this veil. If one is brave enough, they won’t abandon this transformative process.
Matisse used to say, “Drawing with the scissor.” She primarily uses the stencil technique in her drawings, which are later filled with color. After extensive study and work, the shapes acquire a complete form and exude something deeply personal. She draws with scissors, using cutting in the same way she uses painting—as if she is constantly cutting away something wrong in the established order. It feels like she is slicing through a giant rope of things that need to be removed.
These shapes ultimately become patterns or a repetitive composition that depicts integration. This is something she craves and needs, experiencing it through this transformative operation. The repetitive lines of shapes become symbols of her actions, her falls and mistakes, her glories and fantasies—elements that make life more interesting with their ups and downs. They create a line that feels like a beating heart, yearning to keep body and soul perpetually youthful and immortal.
For this reason, she erases, writes, erases again, and writes once more. By repeating this procedure and creating multiple layers, the final result resembles a cardiogram—pulsing with life, movement, and continuous transformation.
