“My paintings are usually classified as semi abstracts. One can find something to recognise with other parts melting into playful colour movements. Some pieces are more expressive, some more impressionistic. Sometimes I play with classical themes.” #abstractart #painting #art 🪡

‘Regenerative’, acrylic on canvas is by Gökhan:

“While creating this piece,my focus was on the word “Regenerative”,an underpinning principle of the research conducted within the regenerative cardiac pharmacology lab.”🪡 #ftdk #heart #research #cardiac #CardioTwitter #sciart
