Artospective: Portraits by Enes Debran from Istanbul Turkey.

An Interview with Enes Debran.

Who and where are you from?

I am Enes Debran from Istanbul Turkey.

What brought you to Art?

Productivity and the urge to create something of my own first set me on a search and i found the answers in art. In this process i wanted to get away from the chaos that life brings and create a world where i set the rules and listen to the voice of my soul and subconscious.

What is your driving force?

Being an introvert and closing my doors to the outer world and the pleasure i take from

standing next to a piece of art i created and watching it is what drives me to work.

What kind of work you do and why?

I usually work around portraits because i think it is the clearest thing in which mankind gives away emotions and reflects what is inside.

Tell us more about your thought process.

I don’t really think much before painting. It all starts when i am in front of the canvas. When the absolute submission is ensured, process goes by itself naturally. It wouldn’t be wrong to describe myself as an expressionist. I don’t manipulate the process by following the rules. While fulfilling what the painting demands of me i also try to involve my soul and satisfy its needs too. Only then i can crack the wall between me and the painting and create works of arts that represent me wholly and sincerely.

Please share with us the one modern artist whose work you find Interesting and why?

Van Gogh deeply interests me. I think there aren’t many artists who can express themselves in a such transparent way.
