"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

The composition captures a playful yet profound childhood moment:
A young girl cycles in the garden, tracing circles with her bike—a symbol of continuity, exploration, and the unbreakable cycle of life.
Like its meaning, this artwork embodies freedom, curiosity, and the unyielding spirit of discovery, carrying the freshness of enthusiasm wherever it goes.

A Nostalgic & Symbolic Masterpiece – Inspired by real-life memories and an old photograph, this work carries deep sentimental and philosophical meaning.
Tolstoy’s Bicycle Concept – A powerful metaphor for lifelong learning, resilience, and finding joy in movement.
Part of a Collectible Series – This painting belongs to the "Previous Home Series," making it a valuable addition for collectors who appreciate themed artworks.
Expressive & Dynamic Brushwork – The bold, fluid strokes bring this childhood memory to life with movement and emotion.

Conceptual Essence Narrative Expressionist (CENE) Pioneer Artist & Contemporary Turkish Master Artist
• Award-Winning Artist • Grand Artist Award Winner • First Turkish Female Naval & Navy Artist
• Marmara University Fine Arts Institute, Painting Department, MA
• International Exhibitions & Art Fairs Participant • Works in Private Collections Worldwide
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.
