About

As an artist who explores and reflects the unseen energy and forms of life through my works, I have a close affinity with astronomy, biology, microscopic images, the concept of consciousness, psychology, and sumi-e paintings.

When creating my works, I operate on the reality that life experience is shaped by one’s own biological limitations, modes of perception, and predictions about life. This reality contains an unpredictably vast number of different perspectives and experiences. The reality I experience during the moment of creating my works is also constantly changing. Therefore, each painting I make is a different investigation, existence, and adventure for me…

After graduating from the Department of Stage and Costume Design at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, I gained experience as an art director in the film industry. In addition to that, I have worked in the fields of window display design, mural painting, and illustration for many years. Since settling in Bodrum, I have been focusing on my artistic journey, emphasizing my painting endeavors.
