In 'Memories of Distant Mountains', Orhan Pamuk offers profound insights as he reflects on his dual identity as a writer and painter, revealing his artistic passions.
Everything begins with landscape, Pamuk indicates, intertwining the writer-painter's mindset with themes of his household, relationships, and national identity, showcasing his love for Istanbul.
Pamuk appreciates the darker aspects of existence in his art, stating, 'I like showing the darker side of people and of the city,' emphasizing his complex portrayal of Istanbul.
Conversations between the painter and writer within himself lead Pamuk to prefer writing, as novels allow a deeper emotional engagement with the world than painting.
