Nevin Hirik is a successful professional
artist based in Melbourne, who was born in Turkey.
For Nevin, the female figure represents the focal point
of the environment created around it. Her female figures
are gentle, airily translucent and emotional.
The figures are striped back from the human to the energy
of a soul. That soul orchestrates a mood, which dictates
the observer's response to the image in view. Paintings,
which engage an image, usually of a young female, are
totally subjected to a background defining a mood.
Hirik's quirky, angular figures are profiled
against the velvety darkness of night. Tough, young and
vivacious they seem like metaphors for the artist herself,
who emphatically states: “My work is my philosophy,
it is my life, it is me. It is my experiences, my passion,
and my desire. I can not separate it from my life as it
is what I am. All of the pain, the happiness, the love,
and my emotions escape from my body and are splashed over
my canvas for all to see, for all to feel. Nothing is
hidden, there are no secrets, you just have to look and
you will see all...”
