Fulya Atac Acikgoz's View of Art:

From an early age, the Artist has always enjoyed painting but was repressed internally. At that time, if she had pursued her passion, she would have not been able to express the reasons for her existence. Therefore, rather than Art, she decided to pursue an academic career in Physics. She felt that the physical dimension of her being would be the foundation of her artistic style. After she was sure that she has discovered her objectivity, she obtained the materials that would satisfy her artistic desire. She engrossed herself in art, and along with her spiritual instincts, was able to activate her artistic talent Aided by her background in Physics, she found a way to capture the inexplicable dimensions of her existence in a 3D view and turn it into Art.
