Artist Statement
Sertac Tasdelen is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. He continues to develop his work by adopting visual arts and design as means of self-discovery. Seeking a certain tranquility to balance the feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction, Sertac tries to subvert traditional forms and find new ways to depict them. He examines the role of art as an interruption of perception, uses color, form, and material in a non-representational way rather than describing objects in the natural world.

Mukadderat
Abstract
Free will might be an illusion, and our destiny might be waiting for us patiently. We all perceive ourselves as separate entities, but we might be all part of collective and endless consciousness. The work's title refers to the predetermined future, and all we perceive is an illusion of time, which has been a highly debated topic since the dawn of humanity, between the religious leaders, scientists, and philosophers. Back in his Istanbul studio, Sertac Tasdelen and his team filtered the true data — billions of living memory — through sophisticated analytics, transforming the data set into pigments and light. What emerged, the artist says, was a completely harmonious image, an “dancing sediments of future prediction”
"With help from artificial intelligence, we embarked on a journey through Turkish coffee memoirs. Neuro-scientifically, the Faladdin is the source of memory, dreaming about the future," he says.
Alter Ego
Abstract
"The Alter Ego" Bust centers on the mystery of the human soul at the point where reality and delusions meet. While the conscious "self" emerges depending on social expectations, the "lower self" hidden in the shadows remains on hold as a free existence pain, governed
by passions. Alter Ego is a criticism of a social media generation.
Among the carefully crafted details, a dilemma emerges: to take on masks or to heed the call of freedom. The artist Sertac Tasdelen uses his own 3d modeling method and then uses AI software to perfect the sculpture and image. "The Alter Ego" becomes a symbolic expression that represents the duality within us.

Looking at prenatal process from the standpoint of spirit, it is not surprising that the child fundctions as a conscious entity early in his development. A human being is not the product of this physical organization, but a living stream of consciousness-substance expressing itself through a physical body. This stream of consciousness reaches beyong the emotions and mind to the spiritual and divine - and beyond. Far from being the result of mechanical physical process, then the unborn child is the existence of a existing spritual entity.
