An Interview with Buket Koyuncu.

Who and where are you from?

My name is Buket Koyuncu. I’m from Canakkale, Turkey. In briefly ‘’ Independence is my happiness, the world is my country and my religion is to do good’’

How you got into this?

I was always interested in painting and art. I was always trying to be better and observing. When I developed in my inner journey and learned to integrate with art, I began to gain originality. And so I began to internalize into painting and dance with it in the same rhythm.

What is your driving force?

My divine force; many things... In some moment I see the object very different from the actual form, I enjoy with this simulate and this is generally results as a creative idea... The images that I see during meditation... From the word(s) in the book that I read.. The shapes that revive in my mind while listening to a song.. While reading and searching ; People in history, interesting life’s, stories, mythology, esoterism, scientific approaches, mathematic, sacred geometry.. Love, stars, sky, nature.. In fact, everything that feeds my mind and my soul.

What kind of work you do and why?

My works were made with watercolors. But I also love using mixed media, too. Priority in painting is the free mind for me. That's why I’m interested in the souls and narratives of my drawing, not in which art movement they are involved. So usually they have a deep stories. My characters use to see their right eye with macro and left eye with micro. The rest of the definitions are specific to each one. Why?.. Because with each of them I am closering to myself more.

I convey the positive vibrations of my art, and I hope also my drawings too convey to the people who looked them.
