The Philosophy of Waiting in Art – Part of the "WAIT SERIES", this profound expressionist painting by Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin delves into the paradox of waiting as both a burden and a necessity.
She says about the serie '''Waiting... It's an action that makes you feel lonely. You have to stop and feel , while you are waiting but going is to be at liberty. An entity that should be free is just waiting steadily. Humans, horses, camels, ships...
A Fusion of Expressionism & Symbolism – Rich, layered brushstrokes and striking contrasts create a visual tension between stagnation and movement, solitude and expectation.

Nietzsche, Islands & Existential Reflection – Influenced by Nietzsche’s existentialism, the piece echoes themes from the artist’s "Expectations Series" and "Island and Man Series", drawing inspiration from the isolation of Büyükada (Big Island), Istanbul.

Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin is an award-winning Turkish painter and the pioneering force behind Conceptual Essence Narrative Expressionism (CENE). Her work, rooted in Expressionism, fuses psychological depth with symbolic storytelling to explore the meeting point of personal and universal truths. It is a deeply introspective journey—raw, unfiltered, and immensely personal. Drawing from dreams, memories, and emotions, she delves into themes of femininity, consciousness, and existential reflection. Her paintings blend elements of German Expressionism, Psychological Art, Symbolism, and Primitivism, yielding a synthesis of instinctive creativity and philosophical inquiry. With bold color choices, dynamic brushstrokes, and symbolic imagery, she invites viewers into her world and guides them through a spectrum of joy, fear, anxiety, and transformation.Key concepts in her work include:• The Female Experience: Exploring self-worth, empowerment, and identity.• Energy & Balance: Expressing connection, quantum consciousness, and mysticism.• Life Stories & Reflections: Conveying realization, transformation, and meaning.• Dreamscapes & Intuition: Weaving imaginary worlds with memories.Her art is not only a visual spectacle but also a deeply emotional experience. Every stroke speaks to the viewer’s soul, unfolding a multi-layered narrative that resonates on both personal and universal levels.

CENE ART MANIFESTO

I am the pioneer of Conceptual Essence Narrative Expressionism (CENE). Through my work, I weave personal narratives with universal truths, reshaping emotions, memories, and transformation on the canvas. Every brushstroke and vibrant color is a reflection of my inner world—an invitation to explore both the personal and universal dimensions of existence. CENE challenges the boundaries between being and non-being, emphasizing the essential narrative that unites the inner and outer realms. I create with the courage to be myself, forging a space where emotions, thoughts, subconsciousness, and intuition flow unfiltered. My art is an exploration of the human psyche, capturing sudden shifts in mood and the complex language of color—each hue a note of emotion and a reflection of my inner truth. For me, Conceptual Expressionism is the magical intersection of thought, emotion, and artistic expression—a journey where past, present, and future converge on canvas to tell stories through both lived and imagined experiences.
