Neon Chalice: Emergence Ecstasy - Id
Neon Chalice: Emergence Ecstasy - Id
Embedded Files
Electric neon lines pulse with instinct, joy, and raw vitality. This chalice is not a vessel but a channel — carrying the surge of human desire itself. Philosophically, it embodies the id and Nietzsche’s Dionysian spirit, the ecstatic “yes” to existence that overturns order for life.

Monochrome Chalice: Ego’s Silent Impingement
In stark black and white, the chalice becomes a mirror of silence and pause. It symbolizes the ego, the negotiator between impulse and reality. Rooted in Jung’s shadow and Buddhist emptiness, this chalice turns inward: not lifelessness, but life listening deeply within.

Inferno Chalice: Fire Alchemy - Superego
Glowing red and orange, the chalice burns as a furnace of transformation. It represents the superego, moral fire, and the alchemical cycle of destruction and rebirth. Echoing Heraclitus’s panta rhei — all flows, all burns — the chalice distills matter into spirit, desire into transcendence.
Modern Dysphoria
Modern Dysphoria
Artist: Ilgaz Kuren
Year: 2025
Medium: Acrylic & mixed media on canvas
Description
Modern Dysphoria is not just a painting but a psycho-cartography of the contemporary mind—fragmented, overstimulated, yet searching for meaning. Saturated neons collide with fractured forms and symbolic density, creating a surface that mirrors ADHD realities, digital-age hyperstimulation, and generational grief.
The work unfolds across three thematic zones—left to right—as a psychological arc: repression, rupture, revelation. It is both abstract and figurative, joyful and despairing, loud and erased. It speaks to contradictions we live daily:
being seen but not understood,
performing identity while searching for the authentic self,
glowing in neon just to not disappear.
Philosophically, it is a visual map of the post-digital, neurodivergent self—a reminder that contradiction is no failure, but a state of survival.
Frequency Fields
Frequency Fields
Artist: Ilgaz Kuren
Year: 2025
Medium: Acrylic & mixed media on canvas
Description
Frequency Fields is a living surface without hierarchy, without rest. Violet, turquoise, moss green, and electric neon vibrate through curves, spirals, circles, and zigzags—each form a pulse, each gesture a frequency.
There is no center: every mark is both decision and conversation. The circles repeat like obsessions, the rectangles like compartments we try to enforce, while a jagged black line slices the surface like panic or rupture. Yet chaos here is not rejected—it breathes.
This painting doesn’t explain; it feels. It is what happens when overstimulation is not resisted but danced with, when dissonance is allowed to play out like rhythm. It speaks to the truth that chaos, when accepted, becomes order of another kind.
Oracle of Tentacles
Oracle of Tentacles
Artist: Ilgaz Kuren
Year: 2025
Medium: Acrylic & mixed media on canvas
Description
The octopus here is more than form—it is oracle. Painted in electric turquoise, its limbs stretch into every quadrant of the canvas, as if reading emotional maps. The tentacles spiral like thoughts, triggers, and stories, slipping in and out of form. It is part dream-creature, part subconscious cartographer.
In mythology, the octopus surfaces as shapeshifter and shadow-self. Here, it anchors the composition across four symbolic color zones: fiery reds, grounded greens, psychedelic oranges, and deep yellows. Each block vibrates differently, but the tentacles refuse to stay within boundaries—reminding us the psyche doesn’t compartmentalize.
This canvas speaks to intuition, fluid identity, and neurodivergent knowing—knowledge that moves sideways like water, not always linear but always alive.
