TURGAY SARI

1998 Atatürk Unv. Fine Arts. K.K.E faculty Painting Department Graduate.. I have been producing works on the Scent of Earth for years. I am currently an art educator in Yalova.

I was born in Erzurum. I graduated in 1998 from Atatürk University Fine Arts Kazım Karabekir Faculty of Education, Painting Education Department. My art practice has been shaped under the title "EarthScent" for many years. During this process, I carried the memory of the earth, the silence of nature, and its ancient bond with humans into my paintings. For the past year, I have been directing my productions towards the Black Sea geography, focusing on the "EarthScent (Black Sea)" series. In this series; I approach the mist-covered mountains, deep valleys, and endless nature of the Black Sea not merely as a landscape, but as a realm of existence. The small but resilient stance of humans against the overwhelming magnitude of nature becomes visible through scattered settlements, winding roads, and hard-to-reach geographies. In my paintings, nature becomes not just a background; but a powerful subject that exists with humans, embraces them, and transforms them. I have opened 12 solo exhibitions to date; I have participated in numerous group exhibitions and art organizations. I continue my work in my studio in Yalova. Enjoy the viewing
