Summary/Abstract: Since prehistoric times, myths are the stories that people put forward in order to make sense of the events and facts about the world they live in and to connect these facts to certain causes. Thanks to the myths, various objects and phenomena in cave paintings have been produced and transferred to contemporary art by producing elements that contain artistic quality through written, visual, and auditory media. While this study examines the works of Kadir Şişginoğlu, it includes the examinations on how he was influenced by mythological elements and how he used these elements in the context of form and content in his works. In addition, based on the relationship between art and mythology, it includes the analysis and interpretation of twelve works of Şişginoğlu produced in different periods. The literature review method, which is in the qualitative research model category, was chosen as the method in this study.
