I am a contemporary abstract artist living and working in Istanbul, Turkey.
I paint shapes and figures that merge, divide, transition and collide, eventually finding a way to exist together on paper or canvas.
I use a mixture of techniques and materials, often experimenting with self discovered mixed media. My multi layered painting technique - there I say my artistic niche- always finds a way to show up, regardless of the medium.
These fragmented layers feel like undefined periods of my life, building on top of each other. My work becomes a result of this process: an interplay of past and present, imagined and tangible, what is lost and what remains within a life that is always in transition.
I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and being able to process and resolve my experiences through painting.
