{:en} Do you want to create your best version? When you write it this way, you get a more lively, emphatic, self-changing "you", right? The sum of the sentences we wish for every year as we enter a new year; A year full of health, happiness, peace, success, abundance, and love... Drowning in clichéd words is not just general wishes or “intentions”. Every year we get another year older, another year more mature. This helps us climb the stairs of life slowly. Rather than every year, we learn something every month, every week, every day, or every hour. Then why do you wait 365 days to make your New Year wishes?...

Remember, living under the same sky is a resistance.” —Nazim Hikmet What we call life is actually a resistance armor that we put on every morning. One day, a word, a painting, a moment reminds us of this truth like a slap. Taner Ceylan’s work “Boxer” is exactly such a reminder. A face covered in blood… but still standing. Just like the artist’s own life, just like our lives. Taner Ceylan tanerceylan.com Resignation, 2016, Oil on canvas, 200x140cm https://www.dropbox.com/t/SovqNlhD3n2SHyxe Taner Ceylan is one of the most valuable living Turkish painters.

{:en} A Bird Fell. I Kept Driving… A big bird fell from the sky. Yes, you heard that right.Now you might say,“Well, it wasn’t a dinosaur or an elephant. Hardly headline material.”Fair enough. Normally, a bird falling would sit comfortably in the “nature happens” folder.But this didn’t quite unfold normally.I was driving about 40 miles per hour in my 1999 Frontier pickup. Florida roads, the calm rhythm of an ordinary morning… And then this huge bird — and I mean huge — seemed to pick me specifically and descend from the sky.And by “descend,” I don’t mean some poetic...

{:en} “You are redefining your self-expression, your voice, your power, and your creative identity.” Dear readers, Mercury retrograde begins in Leo, and the week of July 21–27 marks the most intense period of transformation and introspection during this retrograde. Leo is associated with self-expression, stepping into the spotlight, creativity, ego, and heart energy. Mercury, on the other hand, governs the mind, communication, perception, thought, writing, and speech. Therefore, until August 11: Our modes of expression will slow down and undergo reorganization. The desire to “express oneself” may retreat into inner silence. Words used in writing, speaking, social media, presentations, performance, leadership, and relationships will come under review. An internal “voice editing” process begins; “Is this...

{:en} Hello from Turkey Bonjour from Istanbul Hallo from Beyoglu Ciao from Galata Tower Merhaba from Hagia Sofia Do you know what the first step that carries a call for peace in all languages, turns all the bad thoughts in our souls upside down, brings the dialogue on the same color, destroys distances, and brings people closer together? It’s a warm “hello”. I wanted to start my first article in “ArtTmodernmiami Newspaper” with these sincere feelings. Although there are many reasons to explain when I was asked what writing means to you or why you are writing, a short “memoir” for me is the best answer to this question. I want to talk about...
