Candan Işık

Words fall short, letters crowd into sentences, every emotion, every form of expression I tell with my brushes, my world is scarce in words but infinitely abundant in emotions. Painting the subconscious, this is my world. To express what cannot be spoken. I cannot tell, I must draw.

I continue actively with my ongoing work on surrealist techniques and oil paint textures in my own studio, which I have been pursuing for many years. I see art as a form of healing and expression, and in my works I explore the dark and light sides (duality) of the human soul. While transferring the color palette and emotional transitions brought by bipolarity to canvas; I nourish my art with ancient knowledge drawn from Tarot and symbolism, and while continuing my productions on the Istanbul axis, I view each work as an energy transfer. Art is everyone's story that shows not beauty but what exists as it is, that tells the untellable.
