My Highlights from ArtInternational 2014

Generally I concentrate on the artist as much as I do on the work. Consequently, when I select/acquire the work of an artist, I look at the artist’s personal art adventure, the continuity of their production, how they renew themselves, and the passion and seriousness they show towards their work.

I love this stillness and the quietness. The artist has a strong expression with this stillness.

I just love the way he puts the self into the scene.

I like her aggressiveness and softness at the same time. She has a way of touching the inner self. 

Fahrettin Örenli, Mingir, 2014, at Galeri Mana

He is a very important conceptual artist. He is beyond time and place; that’s what I like about him.
