“Bayram is no ordinary maker. Although he, like the others, sets his lens on the world around him, he brings back disconcerting pictures. For each of them it is as if he opened a new Ali Baba cave to which he alone holds the key — and yet he never has to go far to find its treasures: it is in daily life and in intimacy that he draws his raw material.

He has a sense of humour. He takes an attentive look at reality and transforms it by the sole force of framing and of his imagination. From that careful observation, shapes and faces emerge which become landscapes, faces or paintings; constantly on the lookout, driven by an irrational desire to savour the real, he lets his gaze guide him.” — Sophie Bernard
