NEVIN HIRIK

Artist Statement

“My work is my philosophy, it is my life, and it is me. It is my experiences, my passion, and my desire. I cannot separate it from my life as it what I am. All of the pain, the happiness, the love, and my emotions escape from my body and are splashed over my canvas for all to feel. Nothing is hidden, there are no secrets, and you just have to look and you will see all.
You will see what you want to see, as I believe that paintings talk to people in different voices. Art is personal. It stirs your emotions, it stimulates your senses. Every person has a unique response to this stimulus. It is not for you or I to tell them what they should feel.”  nevin hirik
