  Who is Gönül Aydın? (1975-Trabzon) She was born in Trabzon in 1975. She graduated from Karadeniz Technical University Fine Arts Department, Department of Painting and Crafts Teaching in 2004. She taught in state institutions and private schools for many years. During this period, she opened two personal exhibitions and took part in many mixed exhibitions and international workshops. She has works in various institutions and private collections. She continues her works in her studio in Ankara. Art Perspective; My words are the colors, lines and every shape in my paintings. For this reason, I chose to tell my story with few words and many colors, shapes and lines. My subjects are usually ^^humans and their inner lives.^^. You can see in my paintings the thoughts that they want to reveal but cannot, even the ugliness that they do not want to reflect outside, and even the existence that they isolate themselves from the outer world. The way we perceive the world we are in reflects differently in each person. In my perception, each of my figures that seem independent of time and space actually have different stories. These stories are ordinary situations or events that we all experience, manifesting themselves in extraordinary situations in my figures. That is why my figures give the feeling that they do not belong somewhere, as if they are floating in space. When the viewer puts himself in the shoes of that figure at that moment and internalizes it with his experience, I actually make him question himself. Making my figures appear in flesh and blood and visible actually constitutes the language of my paintings. I usually work in abstract figurative style and include crowded figures in compositions. Inner feelings emerge in the movements of the figures and the colors used in the works. They have shown their existence in human silhouettes, independent of time and space. The changes between the paintings made at the beginning and the current paintings have inspired my renewed designs by examining sketches and artistic sources.
