Barış Baklan, the master of lines made by natural intelligence

Abstract

Barış Baklan, a neurologist and respected cartoonist, combines his medical expertise with a sharp sense of humor. He uses irony, sarcasm, and black humor to create simple, rounded, and minimalist drawings that make people think and laugh. His work, which often lacks text, uses metaphors and imagery to comment on universal issues like politics, justice, war, and science. Baklan has published a digital magazine called “Gaga” and continues to be a productive artist, with his work appearing in the newspaper Yenigün and the digital magazine Alakarga.
