پسرم My Son Acrylic on canvas_ 45x60 cm 2024_DM for more details #samiradarya #painting #artists #Istanbul #Istanbulart #sanat #artist #saachiart #fineart

In this work, two dissimilar worlds seem to meet at a single point,embracing one another until they become one.A mother offers ancient wisdom to her child not as a fixed inheritance, but as the re-reading of a lived experience, embodied in the form of a fruitful tree.The deliberate exaggeration of forms and symbols makes this intimate and emotional language of transmission more visible, drawing us closer to a meaning through which we may reconsider what should be preserved and what should be left behind.
What is truly worthy of being passed from one generation to the next is not merely the handing down of history and identity, but their continued life through

Ancestral Ritual Acrylic on canvas_ 74x42 cm 2024_ Available DM for more information #samiradarya #painting #artists #Istanbulart #berlinart #artbasel #saatchiart #originalart

"Ancestral Ritual"
A majestic, blossom-laden tree stood upon the breakfast table; yet its roots breathed within the waters of memory, and, clothed anew each time, rose again from an ancient covenant.
What passed from hand to hand among us was a silent devotion to our ancestors — a ritual repeated through the hush of generations, so that perhaps one generation might still keep that single stalk of wheat within the warmth of its hands, and carry it forward to the next.

Ancient Union Acrylic on canvas_75x42cm 2024 Available ✔️ DM for details #samiradarya #fineart #contemporaryart #painting #artists #Istanbulart ##sanat #resim #originalart

Ancient Union

A dreamlike surrealist composition where floating staircases, geometric architecture, animals, and symbolic objects create a shifting psychological landscape. Rooted in the wisdom of nature, the female figure becomes a bridge between instinct, consciousness, memory, and the longing for freedom.

کلکسیونر "The Collector" Acrylic on canvas 66×47 cm_2024 by ##samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualartist #painting #Istanbulart #berlinart #originalart #artbasel #saatchiart #fineart #art

This work is a visual narrative of ownership and innocence in the shadow of worn, repetitive structures—an exploration of the hidden layers of domination, where the boundary between protection and captivity becomes disturbingly blurred. Through the deliberate suspension of roles and identities, I place the viewer before a moral conflict, inviting them to move, step by step, through the deeper layers of their own consciousness, suspended between accepting the continuation of a tradition and recognizing its victims, until, in the dark solitude of the self, they are compelled to make a choice.

"Oneness" Acrylic on canvas_98x100cm _ 2024 by #samiradarya #painting #artists #Istanbulart #Istanbulart #berlinart #originalart #contemporaryart #visualartist Available DM me for more information

In Oneness, the house becomes more than a shelter; it is a fluid space where inside and outside, nature and human presence continuously merge. Trees emerge within the interior, dissolving the boundary between architecture and the living world. At the center, a young woman embraces a dog and a cat, transforming opposition into coexistence and unity. Her body becomes a place where contradictions are held rather than resolved, while the house itself reflects this interconnected state. A descending staircase hints at unseen layers of memory and the unconscious. Ultimately, the work explores the continuous reconstruction of life, where nature, humanity, and memory exist as a single, evolving whole.

Home Acrylic on canvas 45x60 cm_ 2024 #samiradarya #berlinart #artbasel #saatchiart #fineart #İstanbulart #originalart #contemporaryart #painter

In Home, I invert the laws of physics and architecture to question the boundary between inside and outside. Perhaps the way humans perceive nature is not the way nature perceives us. Perhaps this relationship exists, in the human mind, only as an act of self-preservation.
In my work, nature and objects often speak more than people. A young woman in ceremonial dress sits upon an inverted window, as though she has turned away from a feast prepared for her, choosing instead to preserve her connection with the living world through the roots of ancient wisdom.
She embraces a tree in profound stillness. Yet who can say? Perhaps it is the tree that is holding her.
Home is not a place to remain, but an embrace within a greater embrace—a space where the boundaries between shelter and seeker dissolve, and we can no longer tell whether we are the house itself or the refuge we have yet to find.

*Submission* Acrylic on canvas 49x49cm_2023 By #samiradarya #contemporaryart #painting #Istanbulart #berlinart #originalart

"Submission" narrates the unsettling moment of a human crossing away from their own humanity. Facing force and ugliness, they choose an unexamined existence over a life of reflection.
This state does not take anything away from them; rather, it brings them to the point where they quietly surrender their own intellect and wash their hands of life.
The corner of this bathroom is not a sanctuary, but an oblivion chamber — the final space before turning away from the self. Here, submission is not born from ignorance, but from a conscious acceptance of defeat: a moment when what could have been taken away is instead willingly offered.

*Happy Birthday, Little Angel* Acrylic on canvas 49x49cm_2023 DM me for details #samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualartist #istanbulart #berlinart #originalart

In my world, this is not a domestic feast; rather, it is an anatomy of a recurring social condition.
By juxtaposing contrasting elements and distorted faces, I have portrayed a fragment of the “condition” of people who conceal their own deprivations through a grotesque display of fabricated happiness.
This banquet embodies a dark and horrifying point where made-up ignorance infiltrates our most intimate and innocent rituals, bringing forth the poverty and loneliness of contemporary human beings from beneath layers of luxury and artificial joy.
Here, innocence is sacrificed at the feet of the self-satisfied and hollow figures.

The Banquet Acrylic on canvas 49x49cm_2023 by #samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualart #istanbulart #berlinart #originalart #artists

Utilizing the vocabulary of the contemporary grotesque, this work constructs a scene suspended between domestic celebration and sacrificial ritual. At its center, a wolf endowed with Futurist qualities functions as an axis between nature and culture, around which figures with ambiguous identities are positioned—simultaneously nurtured and subjugated.
Exaggerated faces, marked by an uneasy contentment in their subjugation, shift the work beyond narrative description into a psychological register. Their piercing gazes and unstable smiles suggest a condition of internal contradiction rather than theatrical expression.
A luminous, decorative palette stands in deliberate tension with the work’s underlying psychological violence. From this friction emerges a network of human relations in which affection, possession, vulnerability, and domination are inextricably entangled, rendering the familiar profoundly uncanny.

"The fifth child"_ Acrylic On Canvas _45x65cm_2023 by #samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualart #istanbulart #berlinart #originalart #Americanart #artcollector DM for more information

This work reflects on the apparent stillness of an order beneath which a silent history of care, self-sacrifice, and invisibility unfolds. For me, the image speaks to a recurring cycle in which the individual gradually drifts away from the self while navigating inherited expectations and prescribed roles. Rather than portraying a particular woman, the work raises questions about the persistence of structures that continue to bind care and neglect, devotion and erasure, in ways that remain deeply embedded in contemporary life.

"Crimson Room"_Acrylic On Canvas_45x65cm_2023 by #samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualartist #istanbulart #berlinart #originalart

This work explores the intersections of memory, identity, and inherited experience. Through a symbolic visual language, I reflect on how identity is shaped through belonging, transformation, and continuity. Acceptance appears not as passivity, but as a form of awareness and resilience that allows us to live with the complexities of human experience. The image functions as a psychological space in which multiple layers of the human self can coexist simultaneously.

"Womanhood"_Acrylic On Canvas_ 45x65cm_ 2023 DM for more information #samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualart #istanbulart #berlinart #originalart #narrativeart

This work explores the relationship between memory, identity, and the reinterpretation of lived experiences. In my practice, the past is not approached as a nostalgic narrative, but as a living force that continues to shape and influence the present. Through the use of symbols drawn from everyday life and collective memory, I create a space where the boundaries between reality, memory, and imagination become fluid and are reconfigured. What concerns me in this work is the possibility of rethinking changing patterns and discovering new meanings within the concepts of belonging, life, and coexistence.

"In the Shadow of Memories"_Acrylic On Canvas _34x49cm DM me for details #samiradarya #contemporaryart ##visualart #istanbulart #berlinart #UnitedStates

"In the Shadow of Memories"
In this artwork, I explore the enigmatic intersection of personal history and domestic suspension. Through a structured composition, I transform memory from a psychological state into a tangible weight, integrated with the presence of the figure. The geometric stillness of the clothing contrasts with the organic avian forms, creating a silent dialogue between containment and the desire for growth. Every element, from the suspended garment to the emerging life forms at the base, functions as a visual anchor, holding the scene in a state of poetic contemplation and revealing the quiet resilience embedded in the act of remembering.

"A corner of life"_Acrylic On Canvas _34x49cm_2023 DM for more information #samiradarya #contemporaryart #visualart #istanbulart #berlinart

"A Corner of Life"
This work reflects on hope, resilience, and care through the image of a home that expands into a larger world. I explore the idea of a “world-home” — a shared space where shelter, dignity, and nourishment belong to everyone. The intertwined figures within this spiral-like composition embody the continuation and transmission of hope and care amidst the challenges of everyday life. Beyond a reflection on injustice, this work is a narrative of human connection, compassion, and resilience.
