Kocaman’s paintings and drawings delve into the subconscious, shaping forms guided by emotions of the past, present, and future. His work reveals the darker, veiled side of imagination, exploring possibilities of thought that weave through cultural, political, and social spheres. In a rapidly changing world, Kocaman’s art offers a timeless connection to the subconscious, where the mind’s efforts to comprehend reality meet the subconscious’s boundless creativity.

​

Kocaman’s work often features powerful archetypes—the freedom of the Explorer, the folly of the Fool, the allure of the Lover, the power of the Magician—that morph and blend, creating a kaleidoscopic exploration of the self. These roles merge into a collective experience, inviting viewers to see through their subconscious rather than the eye itself. His use of symbology bridges individual journeys with a shared human experience, opening space for dialogue from the depths of our minds.

​

An underlying theme is the search for belonging beyond birthplace and the isolation of immigration. Through displacement, Kocaman’s work reflects how we adapt to new environments and, in turn, reshape them. His art critiques the fast-paced, capital-driven expansion of modern cities, challenging us to question our dreams and the cost of instant gratification.
