"Dahmerian Prometheus" delves into the complex intersections of predator, prey, and the weight of transgression. This work explores the internal torment and self-inflicted punishment of a killer, mirroring the myth of Prometheus. Like the Titan eternally bound and suffering the daily consumption of his liver, Dahmer's actions condemned him to a cycle of compulsion and destruction. The exposed lungs, a visceral representation of vulnerability, become the object of the crow's feast, symbolizing the constant gnawing of guilt, the insatiable hunger that fueled his crimes, or perhaps the stolen lives themselves. The victim's violated body becomes a canvas for Dahmer's own internal suffering, a twisted reflection of the Titan's plight.
Furthermore, "Dahmerian Prometheus" depicts the theft of humanity, both from the victims and the perpetrator. Just as Prometheus stole fire from the gods, Dahmer stole life and innocence. The crow, a scavenger of death, feeds not just on the physical remains but on the stolen humanity, the lost potential of the victim. The exposed chest, a gaping wound, represents the void left behind, a permanent scar on the community and the families affected. Dahmer, like Prometheus, is chained to his actions, but his punishment is not divine wrath, but the internal hell of his own making.
Finally, this piece presents a grotesque parody of the Promethean myth. Instead of bringing fire to humanity, Dahmer brought only destruction. The image of the crow feeding on the lungs becomes a symbol of the violation of the human body and the desecration of life. This work confronts the viewer with the brutal reality of Dahmer's crimes, forcing a confrontation with the darkness that lurks within the human psyche. The title itself creates a disturbing juxtaposition, highlighting the dissonance between the heroic myth and the horrific reality, prompting reflection on the nature of punishment, the cost of transgression, and the enduring echoes of violence.

Born in '88, she is the only daughter of a doctor mother. From an early age, she got used to watching films with her mother and never lacked books, which were her main source of nourishment. While everyone expected her to become a scientist, she surprised everyone by choosing to pursue the path of art. He believes wholeheartedly that there are no limits to what humanity can do and firmly believes in constant development. Therefore, he has always had his hands in different disciplinary fields. He completed his undergraduate degree in painting on a 100% scholarship, graduating summa cum laude, and also earned an acting license. He recently changed his life, moving to Italy to gain greater freedom of speech and, of course, freedom over his art, rebuilding his life from scratch. He is currently taking a scenography course, has taken a semester of sculpture and has learned the basics of graphic design. She is currently interested in 3D drawing and 3D applications with different materials on the painting.

“As an artist, I see my work as a way to confront myself with myself, rather than simply captivating the audience. True art is about revealing the realities hidden beneath the surface, even those we keep hidden from ourselves. For me, art is not just about creativity, but about intimacy and authenticity.

In my work, I use a technique that I call "circumstantial". Instead of forcing a subject, I let it create itself through the interaction of colors and my subconscious. Each painting is an opportunity to discover more about myself and to offer a deep confession through my soul.”
