Impressionist Portrait at the Mosque

In front of Mevli-i Halil Mosque I painted a syrian woman refugee.
The artwork presents a stylized Syrian woman, fused with the architectural elements of the mosque through vibrant use of colors and an impressionist approach.
This integration between the human figure and the sacred space conveys a sense of spiritual harmony.
Rather than emphasizing physical details, I highlight the woman’s cultural and spiritual connection to her surroundings.
The impressionist technique and expressive colors invite the viewer into a sensory and emotional experience that goes beyond the merely visual.
