Everything starts with your interest in colors and shapes. After this period of this interest, you start to realize what really influences you, your thoughts and your lifestyle. That is exactly what happened to me through my life. Obviously I enjoy drawing, painting and acting so much. However, I am not very successful with imagining and creating on a canvas. The part that I can be creative is about interiors.
Designing apartments, restaurants, bars, offices etc. contain the biggest part of my artwork. Although I am more interested in interior architecture, I still love going to exhibitions and thinking about artist’s works.
According to me, artworks are reflections of the artist’s thoughts and lives. Looking at artworks is more about understanding and figuring out your life than understanding the artist’s life. Whenever I look at an artwork, I find a piece from my life. I think, things, which touch us from a piece of art are the best clues to discover our inner worlds.
How about my art? I may not be a real interior architect yet but still, I can easily understand the influences of spaces on people’s psychology. We usually don’t realize it but the places that we live, we spend our time control our life and our relationship with other people.
Besides the influences of places on people, I feel like we are a little bit close minded about architecture. We still have ‘no no’s and strict rules. Although in the 21st century interior architects start to create extraordinary living spaces, we don’t use them and keep looking at them only as an art piece. Nevertheless, they are created for people to live and to experience, more than staring at them.
For instance, contemporary art is very popular today. Artists are trying to break the classical rules of painting and drawing. Their goal is to give messages, sometimes with daily life objects, sometimes with abstract and simple drawings. People are experiencing ‘the new’ in art.
So, why don’t we do the same for interior design and start to develop our thoughts and lives through living spaces?
