Hi, I'm Onur KAYACI. I started my journey in the world of digital art years ago. I produce in many areas from environmental concept arts to illustrations, from abstract works to graphic design works. I created my platform called Xebelion to carry this production adventure under a more professional roof.
Xebelion is not only an art archive; it is also a world where ideas, stories and emotions meet digital art. I am one of those who think that there should be a story behind every work. Beyond the visual, I care about the feeling and thought that the work wants to create in the viewer. For this reason, I take care to include stories and meanings from life, people, nature and the universe in almost all of my works. From time to time, it also carries traces from my own inner world, experiences and observations. I see art as a language that needs to be understood and I try to explain every word of this language as deeply as possible.
At first, I started with abstract works that examined human psychology and the inner world. Then I started to handle human and social themes with illustrations. Over time, I also turned to matte painting and landscape works where I deal with themes related to nature, life and the world. Nowadays, environmental concept art, especially creating fictional universes and concept illustrations with 2D and 3D designs, has become my biggest passion.
Instead of specializing in a single field, I try to deepen in many areas and create and spread my own language, style and narrative style. The road may be long, but sometimes the most solid steps are the result of multi-directional walks.

I was born in 1998 and live in Turkey. Since my childhood, I have been passionately devoted to curiosity, observation and productivity. Everything related to the visual world, such as drawing, art, design and decoration, has fascinated me. However, since I believe that talent is not innate but a virtue gained through effort, I have made productivity a way of life.
I have intellectual interests in many areas from science to philosophy, mythology to fictional universes. Writing, taking notes, thinking and producing… These are my daily rituals. I created Xebelion to organize and share all this accumulation in a meaningful way.
I would like to thank everyone who has been with me on this journey, commented, criticized or just glanced at it. I still have questions that I am curious about, I still have a lot to tell… I may not be at the beginning of the road, but I am still excited enough to wonder what I will be like at the end of the road.

The Xebelion logo text is written in a modern, sans-serif font. The logotype consists of a stylized diamond shape. The diamond shape represents value, purity, strength, and durability. This emphasizes the quality of the digital arts offered by your platform and the reliability of the platform.
This design effectively uses negative space to create the impression of depth and dimension. The waveform pointing upwards represents innovation and forward movement, while the waveform pointing downwards expresses fluidity and continuity. The slitted space in the middle expresses openness to new ideas or perspectives. The color purple is associated with creativity, wisdom, and imagination.
When these elements come together, it expresses that Xebelion is focused on delivering progressive, valuable, and creative works in its field.
Essentially, the word "Xebelion" (Zebêliyn) was improvised and designed to feel mystical and mythological in terms of its pronunciation and spelling. The name of the sacred place mentioned in a short story essay of mine is Xebelion, I decided to name the platform after this place, inspired by this place.
"... Nibis, who crossed the valley with all that tiredness and pain, reached the foothills of Mount Lamutra. Nibis, who started looking for a suitable place to camp in order to rest a little before starting the final climb, reached the edge of the river where ice-cold water flowed from the valley. According to legend, this river was known as the river where the 'God' Gahloth, who lived in the sacred place Xebelion before he was exiled, drowned his own son because of his greed. According to the story; In case Gahloth's son became an adult and could take his father's place in Xebelion, the greedy god Gahloth killed his son. Because only a person from the lineage of gods could rule Xebelion. In this way, he thought he would be the king of Xebelion forever. However, Xebelion's spiritual ruler Deuxeb exiled him and took away all his godly powers. Thus, Gahloth died in misery, known as the "God of Selfishness" because of his own greed. After this incident, Deuxeb blocked the entrance of Xebelion to mortals it has also opened it to people, but a single spell has been applied to the acceptance of the place. According to this spell, everyone who wants to enter Xebelion must get rid of all selfishness and enter with a clean soul without a single evil intention in their heart. For every being who tries to enter despite carrying evil, Xebelion's gates and border walls will expand and grow on top of Mount Lamutra. The resources inside will increase, food and treasures will overflow. Over the centuries, every being that learns about this becomes aware of Xebelion, and every being who cannot resist its charm and wealth migrates to this place. Xebelion has been full of bad people and demons for years. The sacred place Xebelion, which could no longer fit on top of Mount Lamutra, slid down from the top of the mountain and cleansed this tribe of life with it in a giant landslide. Deuxeb, in his sermons to people with his angels; "Selfishness and greed are the most vile characteristics, you who were greedy for treasures that did not belong to you. You shed blood, stole, and even slaughtered your own children for years. If you, who do not know yourself, had not wanted more than your right, you would not have killed those who truly deserved the position." he announced that the end of those who fell into the heedlessness that Gahloth fell into would always be the same.
Nibis, who learned the legend from his father who died during the Xebelion migration years ago, reached the ruins of Xebelion in the early hours of the morning after spending the night, while the sun was still warming the earth. And he was frozen by the sight he saw. Thousands of people were fighting each other like crushing each other to touch the ruins and be blessed, rubbing their faces and clothes on the stones and expecting wealth and holiness from the rocks. They were even killing each other to be able to get ahead of each other. Nibis, who watched what happened with great astonishment, learned once again that the lesson to be learned could never be learned by thinking about the Legend."
