My name is Doğa Tümer. I am an artist who was born in Istanbul in 2000 and still lives in Istanbul. There is an abstract bond between me and the chaos that is an essential part of my city. Despite my efforts to escape from this chaos by keeping my social life as orderly as possible, I often find myself in its grip. I do not resist it. I have had a mutualist relationship with it ever since I transferred the reflections of my chaotic feelings to the canvas in a way that seems random but contains order within itself. It tires me, but I mirror the depression it creates in me with my brushes. I feel proud of being able to turn the crisis created within me into an opportunity in each of my completed paintings. The joy I get from embodying this abstract feeling, which I cannot put into words, with colors and free wrist movements, will be my motivation to produce for life. If you know what to do with chaos, it's not impossible to turn pain into work.
