Olympos – Earthbound Gaze
In Olympos, the mountains of southern Anatolia are reimagined as vast fields of abstraction — where the physical dissolves into the spiritual, and the ancient breath of the landscape becomes visible through color. Stripped of literal detail, these forms exist between photography and painting, solidity and mist. The horizon lines, sometimes interrupted by muted ochre, rust, or maroon, suggest the pulse of a hidden sun — a quiet remembrance of light’s endless return.
The work is less a depiction of place than a meditation on permanence and change. Through simplified planes of midnight blue, misty ultramarine, olive green, and soft slate, the mountains become a living geometry — the rhythm of earth folding into sky. The atmosphere, dense with stillness, speaks of time measured not in minutes but in millennia.
In reducing the world to its elemental contours, I seek the silence beneath its surfaces — a stillness that resists narrative and invites contemplation. Olympos continues my search for equilibrium between realism and abstraction, emotion and restraint. It is nature as memory: serene, enduring, and infinite in its quiet.
