Expressing Thought with Metal

Professor Bulent Cinar, Chairman, Sculpture Department, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul, Turkey

Metal offers sculptors a wide range of expressive possibilities. 

By manipulating it, decoupling it from the whole, we transform it into something else entirely—sculpture.

It is essential young artists experience this material’s possibilities, its technology, and methodologies throughout the different stages of their education. At the same time, they have to be given free rein to express themselves fully.

The fact that each individual uses this raw material to serve their thoughts in their own way creates artistic differences.

This is our greatest treasure.
