Working with nature and human, the artist use acrylic and a mixture of oil and oily pastel, which is his speciality.
In his paintings he works with the subjects and localities which he see, live, feel and touch. He use a simple language which everyone can understand, sometimes naive, sometimes impressionistic, and sometimes figurative but unpretentious. You can see the bitter red scream, sometimes a happy love of life where green and blue embrace in turquoise, but most of the time you see the blues dominated by pink and purple.
In addition to the classic paintings he does caricatures, book illustrations and dialogues in print and visual media.
At present Mustafa Ali Kasap brings painting, baglama (a Turkish stringed instrument), kabak kemane (a Turkish violin), caricature works and peoples passion for art together in his studio.
