ABSTRACT KAÇMAZ ATEŞ, Özlem. Interaction of Inner-External Nature, Proficiency in Art Thesis, Ankara, 2018 The subject of this assertation is to investigate how the inner world, which we describe as “inner-nature”, is expressed in the past and present with the “external-nature” elements of our existence; and in parallel, with the applied works, is to reflect the journey to the inner world. In the art that creates a special existence and catharsis space to human; existing in the depths of the mind, been recorded to the subconscious codes and traces of having a holistic relationship with the nature in tens of thousands of years reveals itself. The external-nature has always been a source of inspiration and curiocity for the human being born in the lap of the nature; the magical relationship between them has turned into ecology of images showing a subject in art. In the applications, the trees have been transformed into portrait-like images; timbre of childhood memories, different emotions and thought patterns have been hidden in compositions. In the compositions, through the internalization of nature-based images; social tragedies, fears, concerns, memories, hopes, enthusiasm have been expressed. The “inner-nature” of the subject's feelings, thoughts, knowledge and experiences, intuition and the subconscious; born in the field of art is hidden in images. Images appearing as powerful indicators of the introverted point of view, as referring to the creative subject; have multi layered meanings. External reality, by transforming into the secret rooms of the mind turns into a new body. The richness that the creative subject assimilates from the unconscious depths, detaches the image from its real context; throws it into the field of possibilities. The artist who is capturing living, taking it into the memory, transforming it into a form, separates images from their own contexts and bring them into existence as an extension of his/her inner reality. Nature becomes something else in art; within the images that create the area of their presence, the inner world of the subject and the struggle for existence are hidden. The constituent gap within the image that emerges from the interaction of the inner nature and the external nature opens into the well of presence of the subject. The tones of the subject creating the image and onlooking, resonates in this well. In the topography of images distilled from nature, the journey to discover the existence of the subject continues under the guidance of unconscious readings. The image born in this process breaks the relations of representation; it forces imagination and invites you to the game of existence. Key words: External Nature, Inner Nature, Creativity, Image, Existence, The Unconscious
