I was born in Istanbul and grew up in different cities in country. In my high school years firstly, I interest in cartoon art and joined many cartoon exhibitions, and my artworks are published in international newspapers, magazine, and competition albums. I made many artworks on digital and on canvas.

​

I’ve always loved the history, archaeology, and mythology of ancient civilizations that once inhabited Turkey and its environs. With my figurative and naive artworks, I wanted to feel in contact with this past and its imaginary world. While I am inspired by figures from diverse imaginary sources, my paintings reflect a consistent style, having passed through my filter.

 

​During painting, I enjoy exploring different mediums, like food coloring, fabric dyes, pastel paints, etc. to get different effects. The use of bold black outlines reflects my earlier days as a cartoonist. I am seeking to find fresh and new visual forms.
