Sema Gümüş Öğüt
She was born in Denizli-Çivril. She graduated from Dokuz Eylül University, Buca Education Faculty, Visual Arts Education Department. I completed his master's degree at Pamukkale University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Visual Arts, with his thesis titled "The View of the Sects on Art". She continues to work as an art educator affiliated with the Ministry of Education.
In her works, Sema Gümüş Öğüt aims to present nature from macro and micro perspectives and different forms of expression. The artist designs the creation process of his works by taking photographs during nature walks. He aims to reflect the effects of nature and space on the human soul in his works. In some of his works, he works closely and in detail by taking sections from nature, and in others, he depicts everything that grows rising and heading towards the void. As the person gets closer to this reality and detail and gets further and further away from reality, he wants to find himself in emptiness. It literally aims to make the human mind, which is liberated by taking power from nature, wander in the universe of thoughts through associations. Just twigs... Every human being has wild grasses, bushes and twigs that are lush green in the spring and dry and turn yellow in the summer - just like in nature. The Artist, who is in humans and nature, takes shape in his works with acrylic paints and drawings, starting from concepts such as formation, existence and disappearance, with a dynamic nourished from different fields.
The difference between the twigs is striking: The greenery inside a person does not need long seasons to turn yellow, it is a moment that dries the greenery, sometimes a small resentment, sometimes unexpected losses, sometimes lost hopes. Just as the weeds continue to exist by scattering their seeds around after they turn yellow and re-emerge after the first rains, there comes a time when man's dried up hopes, resentments and yellowing bushes become green again when he discovers this wonderful cycle and harmony in nature. That's when he discovers his place between the earth and the sky of which he is a part, and the flow continues.
