About the artist Kadir Kaplan

Biyografi / Biography Türkçe: Niğde doğumlu sanatçı, küçük yaşta ailesinden gelen resim yeteneğini keşfetmiş ve bu alana yönelmiştir. Anadolu Güzel Sanatlar Lisesi’nde dereceye girerek sanat eğitiminin temellerini atmıştır. İlk sergisini 2004 yılında Niğde İl Kültür Merkezi’nde karma sergi kapsamında açmıştır. Lisans eğitimini Pamukkale Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Resim Bölümü’nde tamamlamış, öğrenim süresince çeşitli yarışmalarda ödüller ve sergilere katılma fırsatları elde etmiştir. Sanatçı, bilinçaltı imgelerini tuval aracılığıyla dışavurmayı temel alan bir anlayışla üretimlerini sürdürmekte, ulusal ve uluslararası karma sergilere katılmakta ve Niğde’deki atölyesinde çalışmalarına devam etmektedir. English: Born in Niğde, the artist discovered his painting talent at an early age, inherited from his family, and dedicated himself to art. He laid the foundations of his artistic education by ranking among the top students at Anadolu Fine Arts High School. He held his first exhibition in 2004 at Niğde Provincial Cultural Center as part of a group exhibition. He completed his undergraduate education at Pamukkale University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting, gaining awards and opportunities to participate in exhibitions during his studies. The artist continues to produce works based on expressing subconscious imagery on canvas, participating in national and international exhibitions, and working in his studio in Niğde. --- Sanat Anlayışı / Artistic Approach Türkçe: “Resim yapmak benim için yalnızca bir üretim değil; aynı zamanda içsel bir yolculuktur. Tuvalin karşısına geçtiğimde zaman durur, dış dünyanın yüklerinden arınır ve kendi iç dünyamı boyalara dökerim. Müziğin bir melodisinde yakaladığım duygu, zihnimdeki imgelerle birleşir ve fırçamla tuvale yansır. Resim yapmak; içimizi başkalarına aktarmanın, kendi dünyamızı görünür kılmanın en güçlü biçimidir.” English: “Painting is not just a form of creation for me; it is also an inner journey. When I face the canvas, time stops, I free myself from the burdens of the outside world, and pour my inner world onto the paint. The emotion captured in a melody merges with the images in my mind and reflects onto the canvas through my brush. Painting is the most powerful way to convey our inner world to others and make our personal universe visible.” --- Ödüller / Awards Best Painting of the Week, Joseart Gallery, 28 August 2023 Filli Boya – 2nd Place, Best Place Photography Competition, 2010 --- Sergiler / Exhibitions Kişisel Sergiler / Solo Exhibitions “Renklerin Sessizliği / Silence of Colors”, Niğde Cultural Center, 2013 Slogan / Motto: “Her renk bir duygunun fısıltısıdır / Every color is a whisper of an emotion.” Konsept / Concept: Expressing the artist’s subconscious thoughts and emotions on canvas through the energy of colors in an expressionist style.
