Painter Tülin Kaynak has completed her new work created using semi-precious stones. Reflecting the dynamism of abstract paintings on her oil paintings, this time she has added a new dimension to her work by using semi-precious stones. The work, which adds vitality to the environment with its colors and lines, is exhibited on the wall of the Yasa Holding building of the Sabancı Group.
This oil painting, 1.20 meters wide and 2.20 meters high, was created by synthesizing semi-precious stones and steel shavings on canvas. Semi-precious stones synthesized with steel shavings, combined with water contrast, open the doors to a three-dimensional world of imagination. By using colored stones such as blue opal, agate, amethyst, malachite, obsidian, cobalt calcite, the artist has added multidimensionality and richness to the work. Tülin Kaynak states that she completed this work with the inspiration of natural stones and colors, almost like a jewelry design.
The artist points out that it is a visionary approach for corporate management to offer their employees an environment intertwined with art. She emphasizes that she is inspired by the fact that vibrant and cheerful colors make people happy in her artworks.
Tülin Kaynak had previously created a mosaic work for the same institution, 1.20 meters wide and 4.40 meters high, weighing 260 kilograms. In this work, she used 15 thousand pieces of colored American stained glass, 750 pieces of natural stones from the Black Sea and Antalya, Demre region, anthracite sand and powder paints. The work included colors ranging from orange to blue, reflecting the coastal theme. The new oil painting is the artist’s third work for this institution.
