In his paintings, he focuses on the stories of the people he focuses on in urban life. In this focus, the psychological states of the figures come to the fore. While space loses its importance in his works, which usually feature a single figure, he is interested in making visible the spiritual meaning of the figure in the centre. Figures and plastic values are also shaped to emphasise this narrative. In the artist's practice, light-shadow arrangements and the monochrome colour palette he uses create a dramatic atmosphere. In addition to his observations of the outside world, the artist's own world is revealed as self-portraits. Özsözgün thus builds strong visual bridges between the inner and outer worlds.
