"Self-Portrait II" is a raw and introspective exploration of fear as a self-contained force. The artist delves into the unsettling realization that fear itself is terrifying—not just in experience, but in concept. Created as a deeply personal reflection, this work captures an unfiltered emotional performance, visually expressing the vulnerability and intensity of confronting one's own fears. Through bold, expressive strokes and a powerful composition, the piece transforms fear into a tangible entity, urging viewers to reflect on their own inner anxieties and how they manifest in their perception of self.

Fear as a Subject – A striking depiction of fear’s psychological presence and its gripping intensity.
Raw Emotional Depth – This self-portrait serves as an intimate performance, capturing the artist’s personal confrontation with fear.
Abstract Expressionism – Dynamic brushstrokes and layered textures embody the chaos and complexity of human emotion.

Why This Artwork Stands Out
A Profound Psychological Exploration – Ideal for collectors drawn to introspective and emotionally powerful works.
Perfect for Modern & Conceptual Art Spaces – A statement piece for those who appreciate art that challenges and engages the mind.
Performance-Based Creation – A unique artistic approach where the process is as compelling as the final work itself.

Framing & Display Recommendations
For an immersive experience, display in minimalist settings that allow the raw emotion of the painting to stand out. Black or dark wooden frames can further enhance the dramatic tension of the work.

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.
