Yücelen takes us into a realm of myth and introspection in her painting Heroes of My Imagination. A figure cloaked in red, possibly representing a traveler or, even a part of ourselves, looks toward a mountain range ink washed in muted grays. The delicate moon adds another layer of mystery to this painting by evoking a sense of timelessness and solitude. This painting is a modern ode to classic ink paintings, drawing inspiration from Eastern traditions. It reflects journeys both literal and symbolic, exploring inner strength, longing, and the unknown landscapes of the imagination.
