Description
Jeihan was best known for the black eyes in the figures in his paintings, which initially was a result of his failure in painting eyes realistically. Later, he realized that the black eyes served as a metaphor. Through the black eyes of the figures in his paintings, Jeihan suggests his viewers to always keep an open imagination about the things that could not be reached by the physical reach of humans alone through the open eye and to always look deeper and farther, like the black hole of the universe.
