Özet:

Mythology and myths are the memories of societies. Thanks to the mythologies, it has a very important place in the transmission of social life, culture and beliefs of communities to the new generations. The legends in the mythology, the characters and gods of different types, present us the perspective of society and the way of perception of the world. These information transmitted verbally or in writing exists under our consciousness and continues to exist today. These mythological beliefs, which still influence our social life and exist in our subconscious mind, are behaviorally and intuitively reflected in the works of the artists. Many of our artists in their works have synthesized these mythological concepts by adding their own interpretations. Shepherd is one of our successful artists who used mythological elements in their paintings.
