WAIT SERIES: WAIT delves into the profound and often overlooked concept of waiting, a practice that is naturally learned by artists as they navigate their creative journeys. Waiting, for an artist, is not a ive state but an active part of the process—waiting for inspiration, for emotions to heal, for ideas to manifest, and for the right moment to create. This piece captures the essence of that waiting—both the anticipation and the emotional complexity that accompanies it.
The Act of Waiting – In this series, the artist reflects on waiting as a necessary and enriching part of the creative process. It’s a moment of stillness that holds immense meaning and requires patience, faith, and a deep connection with one’s surroundings.
Loneliness and Freedom – Waiting, as depicted in this artwork, is both a solitary experience and one that frees the artist from the constraints of time. It invites reflection and allows for a deeper understanding of self and the world.
Symbolism of Stillness – The series also draws from various symbols of stillness and waiting—humans, horses, camels, and ships—all embodying the quiet power that comes with patience and anticipation. The act of waiting, though lonely, is ultimately a release—a step toward freedom.
Artistic Philosophy
Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin views waiting as an essential part of an artist’s life, one that goes beyond the simple act of creation. For her, it is a process that fuels the mind and emotions. The artist’s introspection during this waiting period allows her to capture fleeting moments of inspiration, giving birth to works of art that hold both depth and emotional resonance.Inspiration and Expectation – Waiting is not simply about time ing but is a period of anticipation, where the artist’s mind is constantly active, selectively perceiving the world around her. This makes every moment of waiting meaningful. The work is inspired by the artist’s earlier series, such as Expectations Series and Island and Man Series.

Göknil Gümüş Sungurtekin is an award-winning Turkish painter and the pioneering force behind Conceptual Essence Narrative Expressionism (CENE). Her work, rooted in Expressionism, fuses psychological depth with symbolic storytelling to explore the meeting point of personal and universal truths. It is a deeply introspective journey—raw, unfiltered, and immensely personal. Drawing from dreams, memories, and emotions, she delves into themes of femininity, consciousness, and existential reflection. Her paintings blend elements of German Expressionism, Psychological Art, Symbolism, and Primitivism, yielding a synthesis of instinctive creativity and philosophical inquiry. With bold color choices, dynamic brushstrokes, and symbolic imagery, she invites viewers into her world and guides them through a spectrum of joy, fear, anxiety, and transformation.Key concepts in her work include:• The Female Experience: Exploring self-worth, empowerment, and identity.• Energy & Balance: Expressing connection, quantum consciousness, and mysticism.• Life Stories & Reflections: Conveying realization, transformation, and meaning.• Dreamscapes & Intuition: Weaving imaginary worlds with memories.Her art is not only a visual spectacle but also a deeply emotional experience. Every stroke speaks to the viewer’s soul, unfolding a multi-layered narrative that resonates on both personal and universal levels.

CENE ART MANIFESTO

I am the pioneer of Conceptual Essence Narrative Expressionism (CENE). Through my work, I weave personal narratives with universal truths, reshaping emotions, memories, and transformation on the canvas. Every brushstroke and vibrant color is a reflection of my inner world—an invitation to explore both the personal and universal dimensions of existence. CENE challenges the boundaries between being and non-being, emphasizing the essential narrative that unites the inner and outer realms. I create with the courage to be myself, forging a space where emotions, thoughts, subconsciousness, and intuition flow unfiltered. My art is an exploration of the human psyche, capturing sudden shifts in mood and the complex language of color—each hue a note of emotion and a reflection of my inner truth. For me, Conceptual Expressionism is the magical intersection of thought, emotion, and artistic expression—a journey where past, present, and future converge on canvas to tell stories through both lived and imagined experiences.
