Artist Statement:

I am in love with paint, exploring the interplay of colours and forms within objects, and inviting emotional

connections through my artistic expression. My works reflect diverse life experiences in cities like Istanbul,

Tokyo, and Sydney, with a keen focus on exploring people's relationships, their connection to urban environments,

and capturing the essence of the place. I view my paintings as an opportunity to draw attention to the basic commonalities

that make us human.
