Abidin Dino - "Fleur"
Abidin's Flowers: For Abidin, the flower in his paintings is both a giving and receiving quality and also a universal quality. It takes root in the experiences of mankind, emerging from the spirit and elements of nature, with its good or bad fate, disasters, violence and obligations specific to man. Then it opens. And all that Abidin experiences and tries to understand are these.
The continuous element that connects the different phases of his work, Abidin's flowers create a world of their own between the world we live in and another world, each time underlining it with a special feeling and a different perspective. It is as if these flowers have absorbed many messages with what the artist has experienced; some are as old as the world, some carry prophecies for the future, and others remind those who see them of their own experiences. These flowers, which confirm a real creation, do not tire us with the insistence of their themes, on the contrary, we become passionate about each of them, they grow so that we can search for and find the "other thing" that makes us believe they are hiding behind them.
