The Artist's Journey
My art journey began to take shape with the painting courses I started when I was only 8 years old. At the age of 13, I focused on charcoal drawing, imaginative, torso and live model. Along with my color painting education, I participated in local and international competitions; I won many awards such as third place in the world, first place in Türkiye and honorable mention.
I started my high school education by ranking first in the talent exam and completed both my high school and university education in the field of graphic design. This process, in which I combined my visual expression power with technical knowledge, formed the basis of my artistic production.
For the last 5 years, I have been taking custom orders online and selling my own works. Each work is an art experience where I aim to present a balance of originality, emotion and aesthetics.
🎯 My Vision
The basis of my art is to transform human emotions, memories and dreams into a visual language. In each of my works, I aim to establish a connection with the viewer; to present a world that is not only looked at but also felt and remembered. I see art as a means of communication, a narrative language; I try to create a universal form of expression without compromising originality.

Technical Approach
For me, art is a conversation I establish between different materials and surfaces. The fast and lively structure of acrylic, the rich texture of oil paint and the fine details of charcoal; each offers a different language of expression. Each brush stroke, each bullet mark is not just a technical application, but an external reflection of what I feel and think at that moment.
Moving layer by layer is like touching both time and memory. Especially when playing with transparency in acrylic and working with thick and dense textures in oil painting, colors and forms silently establish a dialogue with each other on the surface. In charcoal, I focus on capturing form and shadow with the power of line.
My design process is mostly based on discovery. In the first stage, I freely search for form, line or color; then I bring them together to build the spirit of the work. Each material offers a different path; I enrich the narrative by using them together.
Not only the brush but also different touches such as spatula, sponge or finger are part of my work as a tool. This diversity gives movement and originality to my works and adds new meaning to the surfaces.
Ultimately, the works I make are much more than just techniques; they are the embodiment of emotions, memories and thoughts. Each work creates a special and silent bond with me.
