This Turkish, Istanbul-based illustrator Aykut Aydoğdu has developed a unique style creating surreal, enigmatic digital art. It reflects the most intense and incomprehensible feelings that haunt the souls of those who suffer or have already suffered being brokenhearted.

Looking incredibly real, his beautiful drawings are full of symbolism that brings out heavy and almost morbid look on how painful it can be to love someone. The most common objects in his unique art are female figures that are interacting with or actually becoming different elements of nature.

Scroll down to see the hauntingly cool art for yourself.

    Or maybe you could think of her as someone who has been through a lot and she refuses to bow down anymore. Because even her eyes in her exterior personality seem very unforgiving and now she is ready to unleash her wrath on anyone who will take it. Otherwise I think she'd be smiling if she was a "wolf in sheep's clothing".

    For some reason, I always thought of women turning into vicious cats, rather than rabid dogs/wolves. After all, does a dog/wolf turn on others at the drop of a hat? Just saying. Catwoman-5...92e918.jpg Catwoman-5a7f1c292e918.jpg

    Or maybe it is her inner passion that drives her forward. She has an internal fire that is hidden from the world.

    This reminds me of domestic abuse. He brings her flowers after beating her so now flowers are associated with punches.

    What-no comment about this one? It's clearly a girl with the other woman in the back of her mind.

    I'm kinda losing my will to live with all the over-simplistic interpretations. Let's try something deeper, shall we? Snow white represents virginal innocence. The apple represents the temptation of carnal knowledge. To my mind, this image is about forced sex. I'd love to know what the artist really intended though.
