There is an inseparable relationship between nature and humans. The reason is that humans are a part of the natural ecosystem. But looking at today's world, man who was a part of this nature is challenging it and building their cultural world. As a result, the world is now plagued with natural disasters and calamities, and a difficult place to live. The main objective of my solo exhibition of paintings, “Life without Green”, is to bring the inappropriate results of the contest between this environment and humans into a language of art. The painting, “Flabbergasted Society” depicts one aspect of life when it is without Green.
