An Ordinary Experience

Istanbul, Turkey. “Steiner100” exhibition: Words from Waldorf educator and art teacher Başak Topkaya.


I realized that creating art is as natural as the flow of life, belongs to everyone, and is an ordinary experience. Through anthroposophy and art, I internalized that art emerges naturally from within us, beyond its technical aspects, and that we are the true instruments of art. Steiner says that art is a bridge that connects the physical world and the spiritual world, and I started to look at art, creation, and search for myself from different perspectives. The best chance I had to observe this, other than myself, was with the children at the kindergarten. I was deeply moved by the simplicity with which they felt the need to paint, draw, and then return to play. I continue my journey, inspired by the children and the colors of anthroposophy.
