Public Life vs Personal Life
All paintings of the Flowrientals Collection are tokenized symbols for a life of a personality. This particular painting is honoring the great and most successful Turkish singer and songwriter Baris Manco.
Any life has many playgrounds. We all have professional lifes, yet live a fundamentally different life personal life. It's arguable if such a successful public figure as Baris Manco even had much of a personal life. Still, isn't it worth for all of us to have these "multiple identities" depending on what context, what people and what mission surrounds us?
Don't we all need privacy, a space for ourselves from time to time?
Heritage And Avantgarde
Baris Manco was widely respected for representing the flourishing re-imagination of an oriental, turkish identity. He actively integrated the heritage of his culture into his avantgarde, progressive art. Whilst doing so, he refused to the sentiment of "westernising" the turkish culture.
He dedicated himself to advocate for a unique, self-aware and self-rooted identity. His cultural and political stance of open-minded self-creation led millions of people idolize him as a true "orientalist cosmopolitan".
