MURAL WORK
Art & Natura Live Painting Performance
from July 2025
Schwedensbrücke am Kanal, Vienna
Welcome
This page is not only a space for paintings, but also a space where the contradiction between humans and nature, its tensions, and a personal language shaped through that tension become visible. Each work is a process of intellectual trace-following—through color, through layers, and through time.

From the age of 18, Sümbül Sümbültepe began to confront life and the system. As his questioning deepened, he became aware of a fundamental contradiction within himself: his mind was still living in the hunter-gatherer era, while his body existed in the present day — trapped within the rules and artificial structures of the modern world. This inner conflict gradually became central to his art.
He began to see humanity as a virus clinging to nature — multiplying, consuming, and destroying like a cancerous cell. This awareness further transformed his art. His paintings turned toward a more abstract language and surreal forms.
In 1999, he moved to Olympos and lived for 14 years in the forests and mountains. His bond with this ancient city, surrounded by nature, drew him toward mythology. In a manner of speaking, he formed a connection with mythological gods and the spirit of nature itself. This period allowed him to clearly see the underlying corruption in the relationship between humans and nature. In his eyes, humans were not beings who adapted to nature, but ones who sought to dominate it — who pushed its limits and depleted its resources.

He now brought not only the contradiction between humanity and nature onto the canvas, but also his own existential conflict. These two struggles, for him, stemmed from the same wound — turning his art into both a personal quest and a universal inquiry.
