Saül (b. 1989, Istanbul), who has no formal art education, looks at art from a wild perspective. Not perceiving painting as a gentle act like writing poetry or songs, the artist chooses to transfer his raw emotions to the canvas without filtering his inner world. Having participated in many group exhibitions, Saül opened her first solo exhibition in 2018, which she titled The Gamut of Darkness / All Layers of Darkness.

The uncanny figures and disturbing images that are indigenous to Saül's works reinforce this Art Brut attitude of his works, which he produces without caring about the conventional aesthetic perceptions.

Saül (b. 1989, Istanbul), who has no formal art education, looks at art from a wild perspective. Not perceiving painting as a gentle act like writing poetry or songs, the artist chooses to transfer his raw emotions to the canvas without filtering his inner world.
Having participated in many group exhibitions, Saül opened her first solo exhibition in 2018, which she named The Gamut of Darkness / All Layers of Darkness. Since then, his canvas has been constantly evolving towards darker and darker tones, and his unfiltered treatment of the dirty thoughts in the viewer's mind, like everyone else, is an attempt to provoke the viewer's attention and encourage the rejection of mediocrity. The uncanny figures and disturbing images that are indigenous to Saül's works reinforce this Art Brut attitude of his works, which he produces without caring about the conventional aesthetic perceptions. Saül's works are not an invitation to the "Uncanny Valley", but rather an invitation to find ourselves in the middle of this valley, as he uses ink and oil paint to present his deep knowledge of literature, music and popular culture to the viewer.
