Passports for Long Ways by Gani Koseoglu

“Style is very important to me. I think human portraits in drawings should be very different from plain, ordinary male figures. In my own portraits, I like to look cool and stylish.

The name of my exhibition is “Passports for the Long Ways.” I divided it into two parts: passports taken in real time and passports taken in fairy-tale time. There are also landscape paintings in my exhibition. As you know, many people in the world migrate and pass through many long roads. Everyone in those profile photos is going through those roads and eventually arriving at the end of them.

In short, we can call it a migration story. For example, in Sonic, maybe he wanted to migrate to Pinocchio’s country :)”
