Birim

Having already explored Cardiff quite a few times before, I decided to head down to the bay as I wanted to check out a few of the galleries down there. I decided to go into the castle gallery. 

There were a lot of awe inspiring pieces in there and I was particularly drawn to some paintings by a Turkish born artist Birim who is a PH Dr. in Veterinary Medicine. 

He has a love of horses and this creates a basis for his paintings.  He feels that as he paints the horses ‘he is living their feelings, joys and passions and thrills with them.’ 

I especially like the paintings which I viewed in the gallery. The way the horses look as though they are galloping is shown through the blended colours and fading which creates the idea of speed as they pass the viewer.
