Relationship between human and nature in painting

The history of humanity has been side by side with nature since the first existence of man. The human being, which shows its existence through the formation of the world together with the other creatures, has achieved a harmony against nature in the same way that the other creatures have done. Afterwards, the human being has partly obtained its superiority over nature by using his thoughts and ideas which make it different from other beings. Mankind's start for recognizing the nature has caused to find new inventions within this long period and to make discoveries that mean revolution for itself. In other words, man has always been intertwined with nature, and strengthened their existence by recognizing nature. Human relations with nature has emerged from the first ages even in the field of art. Related with the time process, the different and developing needs of man have been shown in the field of art. Sometimes, art works have been symbols carrieng the magical meanings and sometimes, have turn into ornamental and written language. Sometimes, art has been beside the power and sometimes has reflected the social expression. In short, I would like to say that the relationship between art and nature will always continue to exist. Because man will always live with nature, and as long as this interaction exists, the human's connection to nature will manifest itself in the sense of science and art. The subject of this thesis is to visualize the relation of man to nature with my own interpretation. Human by its nature has been sometimes sad and sometimes warm and hopeful, just like nature. To reflect the existence of this harmony and similarity and to illustrate it with visual forms has been my goal in this thesis and the motivation of this research has intrigued me for this study.
