“BREATH OF TIME SERIES”

Mustafa Sönmez’s works possess a multi-layered narrative that invites the viewer not only into a visual realm but also on an intellectual journey. Figures depicted in profile appear suspended somewhere between the past and the present, as if frozen within time. The textured effects on the surface, reminiscent of rust stains, symbolize not only physical but also spiritual erosion, carrying traces of human memory, recollections, and lived experiences. These textures also lend his works a timeless and universal quality. In Sönmez’s pieces, abstract forms rendered in white lines evoke neurons, streams of thought, and the subconscious. The organic structure of these lines points to the irregular yet compelling nature of the human mind. The artist’s palette, dominated by cool grays and blues, 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.
