Art Perspective; My philosophy of art is based on an approach where the phenomenon of change is at the center. ‘’Believing that the only constant is change’’, I constantly emphasize this concept in my works. City silhouettes, reflections and abstract human figures are indispensable elements of my art. Through these recurring themes, I process the cycle of modern life and the questioning of existence. I work with soft colors on canvas. This is an expression of peace and serenity for me. Calmness and peace are at the forefront of my artistic language; I create an inner peace area by blending the complexity of city life with a simple aesthetic. Constantly renewed city silhouettes and reflections are a mirror where life and human experiences are reflected. These images are the expression of my artistic philosophy, where change and stagnation coexist and life is questioned calmly but deeply. Every painting is an adventure for me. In order for this adventure to continue, the phenomenon of constantly renewing myself completes me.
