BAHARTS – FINE ARTS
BahARTS
From an early age, I have enjoyed looking at life from different perspectives. I have always taken inspiration from reality to create my own dynamics. In the reality which surrounds us, there are so many visual things that people simply see. However, they do not necessarily notice everything, but just gain a general impression. I especially pay attention to the things that are often neglected or are not recognized as aesthetically pleasing and are, therefore, considered not worthy of being the center of attention. For example, I look at a collection of objects lying on top of one another, or next to each other, such as buildings and cities, the details of which are often overlooked and neglected. All these things have been created by man but have been largely ignored; they are there, but people do not see them. I find, feel and see all these things and believe that, by using the special language of my medium (painting), using symbols and a range of other techniques, I can enhance their visibility by recreating them in my own, individual way. I realized I ought to study fine art and, for four years, I was a student at Eskisehir Anatolia University, in the Faculty of FineArt, Department of Painting, in Turkey. My professional art journey started when having successfully completed the course.
I feel I am fortunate in that I have Turkish culture to draw on. This is a rich heritage of history and art (Greek, Roman, Byzantine, African, Arabic, and, of course, Ottoman). Each city in Turkey has a wealth of wonderful objects, textures, and relics. It is my pleasure to share with others the detail of my culture while, at the same time, learning about other cultures through art. Indeed, a large part of my motivation for coming to England was my desire to absorb more of the culture of western Europe by exposure to its art. During my time in England, I developed a love of English architecture and art. I am particularly impressed by gothic churches, towers, historical buildings and bridges. Also, I am fascinated by interiors that present a fusion of traditional and modern, and this has a major impact on my art.
I did live in Dubai for five years. Dubai is an artist, an architect’s and an interior designer’s dream. It also greatly inspired me. I know my artistic eyes could not stop gazing and finding creative inspiration. It is also important that an artist learns and constantly improves his or her knowledge by creating an individual style, which I believe I have. Wherever I go, whatever I do, I will always be an observer, which is a key factor in art and design.
I love all aspects of art and design – drawing; painting; interior design; fashion design. I cannot imagine living without art. I like employing techniques and forms which have not been used before, and I love the challenge of creating my own style. My aim in exploring such techniques is to present objects in a way which transcends time, and I believe only art and design could give me the artistic fulfillment that I desire.

“Lockdown” – “Karantina”60cm x 50cm, Collage & mix technic on canvas by Bahar Murphy
Lockdown;
When the clock structs 12o’clock, we will be free said my internal voice. During the time of self-isolation, limited contact with only the people in my home, the volume of the laughter and cries had to be heard through the mediums of virtual communications. Creating a safe harbour in our homes and houses has been the motto of the world in protecting ourselves, our loved ones and the others!
The harbour has been battered and the water washed in so many sadness, worries but also extraordinary courageous stories of human nature rising up to the challenge and at time of crisis creating a ship and uniting together!

“My mind still talks to you
My heart still looks for you
My soul knows you are at peace”
“John 1:2-16 ESV / 4
He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. …”

IMAGINE
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You, you may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You, you may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one
“John Lennon”
For sure, art as a form of communication therefore I am visiting one of my favorite town; Burford is a small medieval town in the Cotswold hills – Oxfordshire, England.

I would like to say huge thanks to all the participants who attended the workshop today.
“The sculpture whispered and said, “could you look at me?”. I whispered and said; “I can see you.”

Undoubtedly, control of fire by early humans was a turning point in the cultural aspect of human evolution, but fire that cannot be controlled by modern humans will be the failure aspect of future human evolution.
“Ateşin içinde”
Kuşkusuz, erken insanlar tarafından ateşin kontrolü, insan evriminin kültürel boyutunda bir dönüm noktasıydı, ancak modern insanlar tarafından kontrol edilemeyen ateş, gelecekteki insan evriminin başarısızlık yönü olacaktır.

“Gururlu Kültür ve Medeniyetlerin Çürümüş Yerleşimleri”

” Chaos ” 22cmx42cm, mix technic
“A friend took me to the most amazing place the other day. It’s called the Augusteum. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the barbarians came they trashed it a long with everything else. The great Augustus, Rome’s first true great emperor. How could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world as far as he was concerned, would be in ruins. It’s one of the quietest, loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over the centuries. It feels like a precious wound, a heartbreak you won’t let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same. Settle for living in misery because we’re afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked at around to this place, at the chaos it has endured – the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured, maybe my life hasn’t been so chaotic, it’s just the world that is, and the real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“Çok uzak diyarlarda, küçük sessiz bir kasabada, sabahın ilk ışıklarıyla, dileğenin büyüsünü taşıyan rüzgar, eserek bahçesinde kuş cıvıltıları, kedi mırmırı olan kulubenin küçük çanını dile getirip “ol” demiş ve yokmuşluktan var oluş başlamış. “
