Özet
In my study report on “Fantastic Images in Painting”, the effective role and power of art is addressed with respect to how to find a way out through the inner journey of the person seeking his/her own identity (addressing issues such as self, personality, sub/unconscious, conscious etc.) in self-discovery of the “individual” and in enlightening his/her stained soul out of an inner destruction in the present-day age always emphasizing reason, in which emotions and soul are lost. When creating both the text and visual parts of the report, inspiration is drawn from “the Metamorphosis”, elaborating the tragedy of the individual in a society starting from the family, by Franz Kafka, one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. When creating the report, the text and visual parts of the report have been supported by thoughts and works of various authors, philosophers and artists.
“Oil paint” technique has been employed in paintings created through “fantastic images” referring to such seeking, questioning and purification and enlightenment of the individual –with support from the nature as well. The symbols and colors used in the visual works created have also been attributed symbolic meanings, also drawing inspiration from the mythology.
