Artist Statement for Belgin Yucelen
|
|
|
My goal as an artist is creating timeless art that touches people and captures their imagination. Rather than creating a photographic likeliness, I aim to bring out the “truth” of a person portrayed with passions, ideals, personal boundaries and desires. To do this I simplify forms and “suggest” rather than “define” what I see and avoid a cold resemblance and too many details. I also like my work to convey emotions. Emotions are the greatest potential source of uniting human beings and I believe they allow my art to be more related to life.
The creation process for me evolves in a couple phases. I believe when creating is in someone’s blood one observes in a different way and becomes more welcoming to conceptual ideas from immediate surroundings. I let ideas grow in me before even exploring ways of turning them into appealing forms. Then I sculpt. I love every step of it.
Most of my sculptures are bronze which starts with clay, but I also work with stone, cement, resin, plaster and found objects. I continuously learn from past and present art but try not to limit myself with existing definitions of art.
I have been creating as long as I remember. I started with painting at an early age. When I was first introduced to sculpture at a later period I fell in love with it. I was fascinated at being able to feel what I create. I feel blessed that I have the time, ability and desire to create and I hope that I can continue creating as long as I live.
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci
