A BRIEF LOOK AT ÇİL'S WORLD
The gallery features a selection of works from the artist's various periods. Each painting maintains its own unique color, rhythm, and silent narrative, inviting the viewer into Nafi Çil's multilayered world.
In this work by Nafi Çil, the child appears as a feeling rather than a figure. His features seem to be etched into the surface of stone, like a memory torn from time, forgotten but not completely erased.
The dark background further emphasizes the boy's quiet presence. The subtle shadows on his face convey both fragility and an introspective strength.
“Child in a Dream” is like a silent confrontation that remains deep in the memory.
