Göksu Gül
My artistic practice is shaped by my deep passion for capturing the intricate tapestry of life. Through my paintings, mosaics, sculptures, and ceramic works, I strive to mirror the mesmerizing wonders of the natural world and share its captivating beauty. Many cultures correlate animals as inspiring creatures, and they symbolize the abundance and grace of nature, enriching and imbuing meaning into our world. Their lives exemplify the perfect harmony and diversity of nature and serve as a source of inspiration for my artistic endeavors. My intention is to create art infused with an enduring love for the boundless richness, infinite beauty, and enchantment of Mother Nature. The paintings I create, focusing on the world’s beauty, serve as poignant ‘reminders’ to myself. The motifs I integrate are inspired by nature itself, perpetually reminding us of life’s true essence, a unique and unmatched rhythm. This inexhaustible vitality and unceasing motion are, in my opinion, the greatest treasures humanity should cherish.
