My 30 Surreal Photos Full Of Visual Metaphors, Unconventional Combinations And Dreamlike Atmospheres (New Pics)

I am Murat Akyol, a visual artist from Mardin, Turkey. I love to tell people about my dreams through photos, and I just love art in general. Here are some of my works. My edits have lots of visual metaphors, unconventional combinations, and surreal and dreamlike atmospheres, and they’re all inspired by my own dreams!

If you'd like to support me, you can follow me on Instagram and other socials listed below. Also, check out my previous post on Bored Panda here.

My interest in art started at a young age and I tried to improve my skills during high school. It started as a hobby without any training. I liked to combine photographs like a puzzle pieces and create a new meaningful work with my own imagination. Then I decided to improve myself and show the art to everyone.

Apart from music and movies, nature and the universe have always been an inspiration to me. I've always been excited by the beauty of the universe. I'm sure that the things I dream of are definitely hidden in a corner of the universe.

It sometimes takes hours and sometimes days for a work of mine to appear. It depends on how much meaning you put into a work and how much you mess with the details.When we do it not as a job, but only as a hobby and with pleasure, the imagination works better.

I want people to feel what I feel when they look at my work and see the same dreams as me. When many people see my work, they sometimes say in the comments that they have seen it in their dreams too. Because everything we imagine is real.

I am also working on new things. Now I'm trying a different kind of art. I started producing digital 3D works.
