Faunus by Fatih Sungurtekin

Original artwork description:

Vision is the process of converting images onto the retina and transferring them to the brain as a flat image. But why are the images inverted? Perhaps we reinterpret images by breaking them into pieces, compressing them, or making them smaller. Or we transform, abstract and organicize images and make them perceptible. Maybe we just record it as light and color. In this work, the artist emphasizes the act of seeing and perceiving by playing with images. Influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci's reverse writing and Escher's glass ball, the artist interprets and portrays the faunus. Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's contributions to science and art, the artist depicts a scientific iconographic image upside down. A cross section of the galaxy and the Fibonacci number sequence point to the cosmic system and infinity. The Faunus sphere establishes a connection of reflections between our mental world and the world around us. The single tree in the upper right unites nature destroyed by humans with its fingerprint-shaped tree shadow. Combining the colors of gas and fire, which are from nature's color scale, with the model's hair, the artist establishes a relationship between body and nature between the reflections in the foams and the color scale of the sun. He makes us question the perception of reality through illusions and reflections. The fact that what we see in the painting is recorded in our minds gives clues about how we perceive ourselves, our environment and our universe.
