NO VIEW POINT IS THE SAME

No view point is the same

This series of my artworks is composed out of oil paintings on canvas bordered in wooden frames. The frames play an important role in these artworks. Each painting is painted on a non vertical canvas. As a result it seems like the viewer is looking at them from the side. The frames I made are also out of perspective. Height and width of each side is getting smaller in length. It occurs like one is looking at the side of the frame while standing in front of the painting.

Paintings, especially portraits have been used to point on someone or to survive something, but after centuries they show much more, they present history and culture, and remind of how was those peoples view to themselves. But when we are looking at these pieces there’s a new viewer added whit a different perspective which causes creating new meanings.

The idea of this series, as the title reflects, is to point to the different perspectives of people on the same topic. When we are looking at other cultures whether to a one in the past or an existing one, we never comprehend the same. Actually everyone has their unique point of view on a subject and these differences in comprehension of things affects the relationship of people and alienation between them.
