The unknown adventure
"The development of a painting; the diverse images, colours and
speckles coming together and not knowing what will come out of this work in
the end, is an unknown adventure.
Contrasts like Thought- Expression, Anxiety- Doubt, Affection- Happiness
push themselves into the subconscious mind and take their places on the
canvas in an unknown and unpredicted manner.
Besides them there are subconscious thoughts and traumas, pushing, yet
unwanted in the conscious mind; these are subjects that have to be faced
bravely in psychological and psychoanalytic sessions.
Even if late, traumas have to be faced. With my figures I try to
describe a world, where the human anatomy- deformed, missing limbs, yet
sportive- is not obstructed in its movement, where the handicapped is not
handicapped…" says Hatice Önal.
