“BREATH OF TIME SERIES”

Mustafa Sönmez’s works possess a multi-layered narrative that invites the viewer not only into a visual plane but also on an intellectual journey. Figures depicted in profile seem suspended somewhere between the past and the present, as if frozen within time. The texture effects, reminiscent of rust stains on the surface, symbolize not only physical but also spiritual erosion, carrying traces of human memory, recollections, and lived experiences. These textures also contribute to the timeless and universal quality of his works. In Sönmez’s pieces, abstract forms created with white lines evoke neurons, thought flows, and the subconscious. The organic structure of these lines points to the irregular yet captivating nature of the human mind. The artist’s palette, dominated by cool gray and blue tones, reflects the depths of the mind, while white and light-colored patches symbolize inner purification or awareness. These contrasts collectively create a strong sense of visual poetry throughout his works.
