About Fatih Sungurtekin

 
 
  • Biography
    Fatih Sungurtekin has produced works on “time, destruction of urban heritage, reduction of human dialogues, changing and erasing of social memory” with the concept of “Moment and Memory”. Later, he concentrated on the concept of "Moment and Memory" by combining the concepts of time, space and memory. Making connections between his own memory and social memory, the artist produced layered works with the theme of moment and moment.

      Making use of micro-macro cosmic elements, the forms and shapes of nature and living things in recent years, the artist tries to reveal the visible and invisible beauties of nature and the moment we live in, by producing layered works. The artist, who establishes similarities and relationships with things inside and outside of our body and thoughts, creates by blending the figure with an aesthetic expression and the elements in his painting. While each collage element supports the main image, it creates new meanings in itself and arouses different emotions in the viewer.

        The artist examines the relationship between existence and non-existence in the context of time and perception through the known and the unknown. Pictures create awareness in the inner and outer journey of the viewer. He says the following about his works: Paintings should take you on a physical, spiritual, perceptual and universal time travel.
