Memik Kibarkaya (23. May -01. June)
_small.jpg)  The
artist was born in 1950 and graduated from the university as
a veterinary surgeon. To be able to exercise his occupation as a painter, he
believed that he had to be connected closely to animals and nature to have
the readiness to paint nature. Sometimes he works without a break for many
hours, sometimes it doesn't work out at all - he simply follows his muse.
He usually has the best ideas if he is stressed,
especially by the negative sides of the things which happen around him in
the world. These negative things impress him - so his painting could be used
as a way of an escape, like many painters before did - he believes. F.
Mualla escaped from police, Goya feared the king, V. van Gogh tried to run
away even from the whole world.
  One
day he saw a picture on the wall and he was touched very much. Later he
found out that it was a picture of Vincent van Gogh. Many days he spent
making copies. Other artists like C. Monet, I. Calli, Renoir gave him
inspiration, too.
His pictures are little bit unusual. He uses
oil-pastel, sometimes he uses his fingers, if the paper
sometimes
turns out too small, he just adds another sheet
in ordern to get more space.
Of course there are many critics- positive or
negative-, but now he has 30 years of exhibit experiences and
he does not care any more
for criticism or mockery, just following his own way.
With pleasure he is ready
for any discussion with YOU …
