Since 2019 he has been working as a research assistant in the department of interior design at the Technical University of Ostwestfalen-Lippe in Detmold. He is a member of the German association of architects, artists designers and industrialists (Deutscher Werkbund) aswell as the artist guild (Lippischer Künstlerbund).
Cengiz Hartmann exhibits his work with galleries and at fairs internationally and works directly with private clients on commissions.
»In my artistic practice, I seek to grasp the uniqueness of the outside and through that, the inside, the essence itself. A work of art becomes the outer manifestation of inner truth. I transform matter, which is pure being. This transformation reveals what cannot be spoken.
I create works of art that allow interaction and associations, both is elementary. It is always about relationship.
I am in search of poetry, the essential expression in things. Form and content can not be separated from one another. I trust my intuition, it is condensed experience. Iterative phases of creation and reflection are equivalent.«
