Painting. Mixed Media. "aperture" - 40 X 80 Cm

“Aperture” is a unique dimensional pictorial work from Oktay Kočan’s Humanoid series. It is inspired by an authentic antique kilim from Malatya, a region of Anatolia (Turkey) steeped in millennia of cultural memory. The work evokes an emotional state, a passage between past and present, where a feeling of existence emerges, oscillating between the human and the "humanoid." It combines oil painting and cable relief, and is constructed by the superimposition of two layers: a mysterious female portrait and an antique kilim, reinterpreted in a synthetic aesthetic with glass-like accents. "Aperture" integrates harmoniously into modern and minimalist interiors, bringing depth and presence thanks to a rich and refined color palette.
