Seller's description

Layers of the Self
Original painting · acrylic on canvas · 40 × 60 cm (15.7 × 23.6 in) · 2026

Two faces, one body; a wound between them that won’t close.

"The closer we get to ourselves, the more layers appear. The face we show, the face we hide, and an open wound between them. Perhaps the self breathes through exactly that gap."

ABOUT THIS PAINTING
• One of a kind. This is the original painting, not a print.
• Acrylic on canvas, 40 × 60 cm (15.7 × 23.6 in), unframed size
• Painted by hand in my studio in Istanbul, 2026
• Signed on the back
• Varnished by hand after your order
• Comes with a certificate of authenticity
• Comes with a free set of 6 art postcards as a gift

FRAMING OPTIONS
• Unframed: the canvas just as it is
• Shadow box frame, dark walnut: the painting floats inside the frame with a thin shadow gap, the canvas edges stay visible

SHIPPING
Each painting is varnished by hand after your order, to protect it for years to come. Varnishing and curing take a few days, so your painting ships within 7–10 business days. It is wrapped in acid-free paper, corner-protected and packed in a double-wall box. International orders travel by tracked express courier. Import duties or taxes in your country, if any, are paid by the buyer.

Each painting on my website sits next to the poem behind it: merveheper.com

Benliğin Katmanları
Orijinal tablo · tuval üzerine akrilik · 40 × 60 cm · 2026

İki yüz, bir beden; aralarında kapanmayan bir yara.

"Kendimize yaklaştıkça karşımıza yeni bir katman çıkar. Gösterdiğimiz yüz, sakladığımız yüz ve aralarında açık kalmış bir yara. Belki de benlik tam o açıklıktan nefes alır."

• Tek ve özgün: bu, tablonun kendisi; baskı değildir.
• Tuval üzerine akrilik, 40 × 60 cm (çerçevesiz ölçü)
• İstanbul'daki atölyemde elle boyandı, 2026
• Arkası imzalıdır, orijinallik sertifikasıyla gelir
• Siparişten sonra elle verniklenir
• Yanında 6'lı kartpostal seti hediye

Çerçeve seçenekleri: çerçevesiz (tuval olduğu gibi) ya da koyu ceviz gölge çerçeve (tablo, ince bir gölge boşluğuyla çerçevenin içinde havada asılıymış gibi durur).

Her tablo, siparişten sonra elle verniklenir. Vernik ve kuruma birkaç gün sürdüğü için tablon 7–10 iş günü içinde kargoya verilir; asitsiz kağıda sarılır ve köşe korumalı çift cidarlı kutuda gönderilir.
