ABOUT
SaÄŸaltıcı, the healer, or just my mother’s maiden name I love to honor. A name that has inspired me and my artwork since painting is highly therapeutic. As a psychologist I spend hours analyzing people, including myself, and philosophize social constructs. I relied on my mind most of the time, as I identified as a thinker and being driven by science. Many life’s curveballs later, I realized I was operating from one side of the spectrum and completely ignoring emotions, creativity and the subconscious mind. I always felt a pull to do or think differently but I didn’t know where or how to start exploring. Painting has started a process of moving from thinking to feeling, doing, and leading from the heart that helped putting mental pictures into tangible matter, ART if you will.
SaÄŸaltıcı art can be described as abstract, expressionistic and as portraying the subconscious. Each piece reflects meaningful themes in work and life, such as mental health, psychology and spirituality. The process of painting helps to step out of auto-pilot as I let the subconscious choose the shape and color and see where it moves me. SaÄŸaltıcı is about letting go and surrendering to the unique journey that each painting takes me on. Symbolic of everybody’s life journey, I aim to invite you to step out of of auto-pilot by stopping and feeling, thinking or just being, through experiencing my artwork.
