<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p> The idea that one needs to move away from nature to find artistic truths is apparent in art works of many of the world-wide famous artists. When the case is that the visible form of nature is not enough for the artistic form, it is observed that the artist who resorts to the fictional vision provided by his/her own mind, adopts an epic expression. Epic expression used by artists to communicate their own worlds can be understood by intriguing brush strokes, the colors used, subjects taken up, original character descriptions or names given to paintings. In Turkey as in all the other countries, it is possible to come across artists who resort to fictional vision and adopt an epic expression to convey their own worlds. <italic>Bedri Rahmi Ey&#252;bo&#287;lu, Cihat Burak, Nuri Aba&#231; </italic>and <italic>Onay Akba&#351;</italic> are some of the Turkish artists whose work has traces of epic expression.  </p><p><italic>Keywords: </italic>Epic, Epic expression, Modern turkish painting. </p>
