The appeal of mythology, folklore, the grotesque, Eastern poetry to me are all reflected in my paintings. I am interested in mixing, melting colors and experiments. In the works with the images of fish, birds intertwined with trees, I capture the experiences of them in this space and time. In my works, I investigate the aspects of the relationship between man, time and space in terms from a philosophical point of view. The difference between languages in my works, however depends on the mood, a variety of symbols, alchemy, and other topics come in shifts… The colors are abstractly defined but has symbolic meanings.
Rethinking the origin of myths and interpretating allegories is also my way of creating. I like to work on the ideas of my own imagination, while using the analogy of photos to execute my ideas with collage, I use art as a mean to convey my imaginations.
To emphasize the “eternal” themes in the work, some works lack very clear and specific characteristics, and the form of works are devoid of symmetry intentionally. I create my works with oil on canvas, mixed media, etching, linocut, graphics and pastel, I also express myself with photography and experimental art. I hope to express the color I have in mind with the multilayers on the works. My everlasting yearning as an artist is to create in the two dimensional world, numerous fantasies and ecstatic universes.
