“To express myself freely is the most important thing for me in life, and I’ve been doing that through art since I was 20. I’m determined to follow up this path I’ve chosen at a very young age, until the end of my life. I define my goal in life as acknowledging, composing and extending myself. The world of art serves me to reach this. My relation with the viewer makes my dreams and my life meaningful. If you ask me the meaning of my existence I would say awareness and creating. I accept myself as I am and I respect that. My greatest weapon in life is to embrace the unknown. My mission above all is knowing myself and to share my work with people. My admiration for nature gives me infinite energy and my nature helps me to hold on to life with joy. As I have always said, everything is the result of a choice we make.
And I chose to be happy.”
– Yigit Yazici
