Tahir Onur Bektaş: A Story of Art and Creativity
23 Nisan 1991’de İstanbul’un Kartal ilçesinde dünyaya geldim. Tutkumu takip edebileceğim bir alanda eğitimimi şekillendirmek adına İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Sinema ve Televizyon Bölümü'ne kaydoldum.
Mezuniyetin ardından, 2010'dan 2019'a kadar çeşitli film setlerinde asistan olarak çalışarak sektöre adım attım. Film yapım dünyasında kazandığım deneyimlerle, 2022 yılında reklam yönetmenliğine adım atma fırsatını yakaladım. Bu süreç sadece projeleri yönetmeyi değil, aynı zamanda yaratıcı düşünme ve yöneticilik becerilerimi geliştirmemi de sağladı.
2021 yılından itibaren Castival Hotel’in marka müdürlüğü görevini üstlendim ve bu görevi hala sürdürüyorum. Castival Hotel benim için sadece bir konaklama yeri değil, adeta bir sanat eseri. Tasarım ve film yapım süreçlerine dahil olmak, bu mekanın bir otel olmanın ötesine geçebileceğine inanıyorum.
Bugün, Antalya’da otellerin camilerin, kiliselerin ve katedrallerin yerini aldığını düşünüyorum. Rönesans döneminde insanlar sanatlarını katedrallerde ve kiliselerde icra ederken, artık oteller bu yaratıcılığa ev sahipliği yapma potansiyeline sahip. Bu devasa alanları finanse eden sahipler, Castival Hotel gibi sanatın hizmetinde olan benzersiz mekanlar yaratarak sanat yolları açıyorlar.
Otelin içindeki eserler, Castival’i adeta bir sanat galerisine dönüştürdü ve her parça kendine özgü bir katkı sağlıyor. Bu eşsiz atmosferin bir parçası olmaktan büyük bir keyif alıyorum. Castival Hotel, misafirlerine sadece konforlu bir konaklama sunmakla kalmıyor, aynı zamanda bir sanat eseri olarak eşsiz bir deneyim sunuyor.
Bu yolculuk, hayallerimi gerçeğe dönüştürme yolunda atılan önemli adımlardan sadece biri. Gelecekte de sanat ve yaratıcılığın içinde kalmayı, benzersiz projelere imza atmayı ve her an yeni bir şeyler öğrenmeyi hedefliyorum. Yaratıcı enerjiyle dolu bu maceranın bir parçası olmaktan gurur duyuyorum ve geleceğin neler getireceğini heyecanla bekliyorum.

THE VERSATILE MASTER OF ART:GIUSEPPE ALDI

Poetic
I offered in my visual poetic the oportunity to reflect about the human existence. My work began with the act of graffiting street walls, and cativated the world by its universality. I transformed a local perception in an universal emotion. The lyricism of my characters driving magical and dreamlike bikes refer to the desired freedom that makes us human. Everyone want to ride without barriers across the paths of the world. My arts bring this possibility inside a aesthetics, in which the color plays a very important role.
"Art is an extension of what I am, as if it were an arm, the head, the heart".
