Art Perspective;
The narratives that I present by examining the subjective classifications about myself, the existential problems of man regarding life, his connection with nature, global issues that shake people such as climate, migration, war on a conceptual level and trying to overcome material hierarchies from all kinds of materials to digital production constitute the basis of my recent works… While the textures formed by textural touches that are initially perceived as spots within the theme of emptiness but take their references from subconscious arguments, clustered one after the other or on top of the other, structure semi-abstract and figurative forms on a deep platform in my works, all these dramatic and problematic analyses are actually a confrontation with both myself and the viewer at this very point in my inner journey… In other words, it is also a critical questioning of defined or coded and distributed social affiliations and roles.
