'Watiting Person' is one of a series of experimental paintings that combine the keywords ‘night landscape’ and ‘anxiety’ to discuss the uneasiness that comes with the decision to become an artist. The artist gives his works a contemporary perspective by including young characters of comparable age, smoking cigarettes, or waiting for someone. His paintings make us aware of the future by focusing on the present, while at the same time displaying an uncertain future. In his recent paintings, the artist addresses feelings of anxiousness resulting from personal experiences and social events. His work is based on photography and includes realistic arrangements, figures, and light. The artist draws attention to the existential concern that exists on the periphery of contemporary human society by intertwining the act of painting with images of insignificant habits of daily life that are caused by anxiety.
