This series by artist Cevdet Mehmet Kösemen consists of surreal paintings he made with inspiration from the landscapes, creatures and historical places he saw around him during his residency program in Kocaköy, Çanakkale, in July 2024.
Expressing his special interest in Mediterranean history, nature and evolution with his improvised and colorful painting style, Kösemen reflects his philosophy of art on the lines of the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși (1876-1957) “I give you only pure joy. “Do not look in vain for secret messages and mysterious symbols,” he explains.
