Gökçen Cabadan (born in İzmir, 1980) graduated from Dokuz Eylül University Fine Arts Faculty in 2003. He completed his master’’s degree at Multimedia Department of Hogeschool Gent Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. Cabadan thinks that work of art is communicatively accessible only where the artist stands at the center after the modern concept where the experience is the greatest reality. It almost turned into a self portrait of the artist by all means. Cabadan is insistent to follow this convention of aesthetics which came after romanticism even in these days of difficulty at finding our own selves.
