This is sculptor Mert Kaan Burnaz (BFA,MFA) specializing in sculpture art. My sculpture's main theme is 'contrast'.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of art to create is sculpture, particularly through carving, clay modeling, and metalwork. I am especially drawn to forging, where the physical act of shaping material reveals tension, resistance, and transformation.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from life, nature, and love, where contrast and unity coexist. I translate these dynamics into sculptural forms, assembling them like a piece of puzzle to reveal deeper connections.
What would you do with $25,000?I will support my research, technical and production process to create new art series.
