Art Perspective;
In my paintings, I prioritize inner depth, careful blending of warm and cold color tones, and handling my figures in a lyrical plane and in a contemporary language close to abstraction. While these elements elevate my works to a contemporary peinture level, they enable me to produce permanent and impressive works by integrating with my style and narrative style.
In my art, themes regarding the effects of modern life on people hold a central place. I shape my works with the sociological, ideological, cultural and ethical values acquired during the period in which it has existed. In fact, I portray my admiration for women standing tall against all difficulties. From time to time, different forms accompanying female figures are also included in my paintings. Inspired by the power of women in their inner world, I blend it with a historical process and transform it into a plastic element with a modern narrative language. The figures in my works appear in a semi-abstracted and deformed form with elements such as lines, spots, dots and colors.
