Welcome,
art-loving viewers
to today's episode of
Enlightening Entertainment.
Today, we are travelling
to a land of
an ancient civilization,
Türkiye (Turkey),
to meet a
genuinely gifted painter.
Ms. Emine Güler
has been inspired
since childhood
by the colors and images
of central Anatolia,
a place abundantly blessed
by a rich cultural
and natural heritage.
My works started
perhaps before writing,
before learning
to read and write.
Actually I have been
drawing as early as
I could remember.
Naturally,
the interactions are back
in my earliest childhood.
During my childhood,
I was wondering about
the ancient time,
I was trying to find out
about the lives in the ancient
ruins by imagining;
this I think
was pure curiosity, and
this curiosity gave rise to
more mythological thoughts.
I started to go back
to the very beginning of
the evolution of humankind.
Naturally,
they say there is no limit
to the imagination.
Ms. Emine Güler
was born in Konya,
in the Central Anatolian
region of Turkey.
Konya was the hometown
of the great Sufi poet
and theologian,
Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi.
In Konya,
vast wheat fields
glow in the sun
with amber light,
as an endless horizon
reveals the land’s
beautiful brown shades.
I simply reflected
earth, the soil
in my first paintings.
I was using
mineral oxide colors
and these paintings were
inspired from the earth.
I even gave the light
using transparency,
I mean with the browns
or blues I use.
Making use of
the whiteness of the canvas,
I just give the whiteness
of light.
Naturally, there are
reflections of traditions
in the paintings,
like the ones
featuring horse figures.
They are much connected
with Anatolia.
In Anatolia,
when the father agrees
to a son-in-law,
the daughter
marries this man, the girl
goes to her new home.
She both cries and goes.
The name of this painting
is also “I both cry and I go.”
And traditionally
brides traveled
to their new homes
on horseback.
In other words, the feelings
in my pictures
are rooted in Anatolia.
Since there are
certain abstractions
in the painting, the figures
are not very clear.
But I made them like that
on purpose.
The artist must leave
a little bit of imagination
to the beholder as well,
the beholder
should be allowed
to think over the painting
and find the depth;
actually the moment
he finds it,
he has established a bond
with the painting.
I named my concept
in my paintings
“the hidden impressions,”
meaning there is more
to find in the painting,
but hidden.
Emine Güler is
a prolific artist
who has held at least
20 exhibitions so far,
with the latest at
the Hagia Sophia Museum
in Istanbul, Turkey.
The museum, which
once used to be a church
and a mosque,
is a timeless shrine
of history, spirituality
and aesthetics.
I don't accept that there is
a single living being
who doesn't have faith.
And everyone would
absolutely have one belief
even deep inside.
More accurately, the world
is such a wonderful place
and there are so many
wonderful creations,
that, it should come from
some source
and such beauties have
necessarily been created
in a way or another
by the power of creation.
Ms. Güler has developed
a unique painting technique
and an elegantly detailed
yet mysteriously
enchanting style.
In my paintings,
as I call them
the “hidden impressions,”
the past is certainly
carried to our day,
with experiences
lived in the past lives.
That is
the concealed purpose,
because according to
the laws of the world,
nothing existing vanishes
and nothing can be created
from the nonexistent.
So, in one way or another
we continue to carry
the traces of the past.
The soil
which has hosted people
since many centuries
continues to carry
the traces of living beings
ever present on it.
For Ms. Güler,
painting itself is
a meditative experience.
When I am deeply
concentrated in painting,
my contact
with my surrounding
really stops.
I am detached
from the world
where I am working.
I go back to my thoughts
as a child.
Just like describing
the world to someone
who can not see
and you describe him
the external world,
his surroundings,
this and that.
In this painting,
just before the exhibition
in Hagia Sophia,
on the days when
I started to get ready
for this exhibition,
I had a dream
and I was awakened by
the strength of the dream.
But it was an awakening
in my dream and in fact
I was still asleep,
my mind was so busy
with the traces
of past life experiences.
I reflected many types
of creatures, experiences
on the canvas without
being aware of my action.
I solved the mystery
of the birds by myself
at a later time,
which are found in
almost all my paintings.
Before, when I depicted
a piece of land,
a monument, there were
always birds beside it.
Of course,
I was continuously
making observations
and I found out that,
without an exception,
all old buildings
had special places where
birds made their nests.
Of course, there
any many types of birds
around such places.
Like the pigeons present
in and on Haghia Sofia
What about these globes?
Everyone has a world
belonging to him
or every era has
its own specific world.
Actually, in this world
there are reflections
and things like these
you see here.
The worlds are held
by hands or there are
actually two, three of them.
So it represents that
everyone has a world
belonging to him.
Ms. Güler’s paintings
exude a spiritual air.
They contemplate on
the deep meaning of life
and the phenomena
beyond the surface that
the physical eyes cannot see.
If a figure arises here,
just behind it
there are birds,
it continues with birds,
birds, a new place,
a new world,
a new composition,
a dream, and there,
the impressions,
like there will be dreams
within the dream again.
Some figures in the picture
do view the painting and
maybe they are beholding
the beholders
of the painting.
Because I feel the eye
of a beholder
when I am painting,
like some figures
in the painting,
and everyone has
his or her own world
in his or her own hands.
As you know, there are
many lives coexisting
within the world as we say
there are many worlds
within a world.
Even if
I do not always do
there can be an elephant
or a peacock
in my painting.
In this one, again
a mythological merman,
different places, stories...
Making a journey
into the past
is amusing for me,
it also reflects joyfully
in my painting
and painting them
is also a great delight.
I do not do pre-drawings
in my paintings.
Or in other words,
there are no pre-drawn
figures on the canvas
or the surface,
there are no lines,
pencil drawings.
The painting
directly forms itself.
When starting a painting,
I start at a single point
and the painting grows
by itself.
Once, the artist
was inspired to paint
the historical region
of Cappadocia,
a central region in Turkey
that, till that time,
she had never seen before.
The outcome
of the painting was
remarkably surprising.
My paintings,
maybe essentially
got created from me,
in idea and thinking,
in aesthetics,
but when I saw
the natural structure
of Cappadocia,
I saw that the place
and my imagination
overlapped almost the same.
The underground city
in Cappadocia,
a 12-story structure
below the ground,
is the foundation
for these forms.
The pigeons
I use in my paintings
are also an outcome
of the connection
I established
with the dovecotes
(pidgeon houses) that
exist very concentratedly
in Cappadocia.
Currently, Ms. Güler
contributes her talents
through teaching art classes
in private schools
and working as a curator
at the Yesilköy 2001
Art Gallery
in Istanbul, Turkey.
When she herself
was being trained
as a master artist,
she once received
cherished advice
from her teacher
about perseverance.
He told her:
“When you feel desperate
about creating something,
go out and watch a worker
trying to open up rocks
with a sledgehammer.
Seeing a massive rock
turn into pieces
with the 100th stroke
of the hammer,
you will understand that
it is not the 100th stroke
but the 99 strokes
before that is
what actually fractures it.”
At this moment,
I don’t have a plan
as to what will be drawn,
what kind of painting
this will be,
what colors will be needed.
As the painting evolves,
whatever the painting
requires,
the brushes and the paints
respond in that way.
Naturally, that means
thousands of strokes
in one painting.
There are no surface layers
in the painting.
Thoughts and philosophy,
and also dreams
take part a bit in the
formation of the painting.
Only the textures are
visible in the painting.
This can be
a texture of soil.
It can be the surface,
the skin, the outer look
of a living being,
or any other object.
Any object
existing in the universe
can create some products,
because the cosmos itself
is living,
Of course, it is also joyful
for me; by adding a bit
of my own imagination,
I make a joyful trip
to the past.
And they are reflected
as hidden impressions.
We thank the gifted
and celebrated painter
Ms. Emine Güler,

art and words with us.

our collective memories
