About the Artist

My creative journey began not in art school, but through a self-guided exploration of form, feeling, and tradition. With a background in industrial engineering, I gradually shaped a personal language through hands-on experimentation and intuition — allowing materials and techniques to become vessels for storytelling.

Using techniques like needle and wet felting, I create tactile paintings and sculptural works that reflect both inner landscapes and ancestral echoes. My creative process flows across diverse mediums: digital illustration, fabric printing, wax batik, acrylics, watercolors, oil painting, and ceramic objects. For me, material is not just a tool — it is a language.

Elements of Turkic mythology and global mythologies often weave their way into my work, influenced by my years living in various African and Far Eastern cultures. But inspiration is never singular—I’m drawn to ethnographic motifs, symbols of our connection to nature, and inner landscapes shaped by memory or intuition. Each piece begins with curiosity, not always with a plan.

This fluidity of thought naturally leads to a multiplicity of materials. One day my emotions take shape in wool; another, they unfold in gouache on paper or in a ceramic form mirroring the sun. I might press traditional motifs onto handwoven fabric or build miniature universes from my small studio — always in a state of creative simulation.

This is my ongoing artistic story: layered, wandering, and always becoming.
