Mayadrom Sports Center (MSC)

Mayadrom commissioned NPP to produce paintings with imagery intended to reflect the philosophy of MSC: Body Soul Technology

Atatürk'ün Gözleri I

Yasemin

This portrait highlights Turkish deep-diving record holder, Yasmin Dalkılıç, a Turkish woman who represents an international success story for all women around the world. She embodies the MSC philosophy and is a Turkish heroine to be celebrated and supported.


Space Man!
Istanbul 2001 acrylic on canvas 300cm x 150cm

Basketball, an astronaunt, the embilical cord, the womb, space and the naked female body.


Öp!
Istanbul 2001 acrylic on canvas 150cm x 300cm

Sounds like "oop" and means Kiss! This was not painted for MSC, but was painted at the MCS atelier which NPP spontaneously established within the complex.
