Abstract (EN)
Questioning has been an unchanging need of a human from past to present. A human first seek an answer for the question "who I am?" in his path of self-discovery and sense-making his own existence. The study questions the secrets of human existence. What is left when a human leaves his identity and epaulettes? The aim of understanding who he is for a human is to find an answer to who an artists is and to observe the changes occurring in him in his journey. Philosophy, mythology, doctrines, tales, common stories and narrations are benefitted researching other truths that make a human "me" when searching for an answer to this question. The seven dwarfs work in mine of a mountain in Snow White. Mine is a place of ore processing. The seven dwarfs, seven chakras, seven sleepers. The focus point in all of this narrations is the ore or truth that is need to be processed or revealed in a human. The study questions the effects of solving an artists own secrets of reality on his own art. Imaginative transformation of inner voice or soul in human consciousness are analyzed in terms of art and artist. An artist or a human who looks for an answer to "who am I?" tries to find an unchanging answer which is more absolute and does not change depending on time or conditions as a living creature that will die. The answer of this question makes a human elude his identities and ken, and a human is in need of explaining his existence spiritually rather than physically. At this point, myths and doctrines inform us about this eternal and limitless reality. These sources present human a peaceful and absolute reality rather than the complexity arose due to fast change in every field today in human. Artists desire this confrontation when producing. Therefore, their seeking and journey continue all the time. This seeking creates an excitement that triggers an artist's instincts and keep their curiosity alive continuously. Art is the most natural result of this journey. The originality of an artist in expressing himself is directly proportional to his reality and the proximity to the answers he finds.
