Children design colorful animal portraits inspired by Paula Rego’s animal figures in her works, as she sometimes depicts herself and people she knows as animals. After a guided exhibition tour, children decorate animal portraits of egg cartoons with acrylic paints and materials such as chenille and pom poms. Due to the three-dimensional structure of the viol, colorful animal portraits appear as they go beyond their paintings.

Midnight Horror Stories: The Last Ferry
Galip Dursun

I remembered a game as I was waiting in the passenger lounge for the ferry to arrive just a few minutes ago. A game we used to play at home when I was young, in my country that is very far away from here, a relic from the distant past; I don’t even remember how we used to play it. The kind of game that makes me feel a thousand times lonelier than I already am among the crowd waiting to get on the ferry.

From Cypresses to Turkish Landscapes

From Cypresses to Turkish Landscapes

Among the most interesting themes in the oeuvre of Prassinos are cypresses, trees, and Turkish landscapes. The cypress woods in Üsküdar he saw every time he stepped out on the terrace of their house in İstanbul or the trees in Petits Champs must have been strong images of childhood for Prassinos.
