“Searching for Self” (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Yana Dulger

Title: “Searching for Self”
Series: Self-Discovery
Searching for Self is the first work in the Self-Discovery series, reflecting the beginning of a person’s inner journey toward understanding themselves. The continuous, labyrinth-like human form symbolizes the process of searching for one’s identity — a journey that is complex, not always straightforward, but ongoing.
The figure moves along its own path within itself, reminding us that the answers we seek in the outside world often lie deep within us. Its simplified contours make the image universal, allowing each viewer to see their own emotions and personal experiences within it.
The muted, earthy palette emphasizes the connection between humans and the earth, reminding us of our belonging to nature. The textured surface enhances the sense of naturalness and the passage of time, inviting the viewer to pause and enter a space of quiet contemplation.
Ideal for contemporary interiors—minimalist, Japandi, or Scandinavian—adding warmth, depth, and a subtle visual rhythm without overwhelming the space.
