The title of this work refers to the damaged pine cone that you can see near the top right: something that - like the other objects in this painting - was collected by me on a country walk. I enjoy painting natural objects like these because although they aren't pretty as such, they have amazing details and their own kind of hidden beauty. I find it really relaxing to spend time looking in detail at such things, trying to capture their unique look. I guess it's a kind of meditation for me. I began this work by drawing in charcoal sticks in order to establish the overall composition. Then I started filling in the details in acrylic, adding, removing and changing things along the way until the painting felt complete. I painted the sides of the canvas as well as the front and only used high-quality acrylic paint and acrylic inks. The work is varnished and is shipped in a tube.

Turkey
I am an artist and writer with paintings in private and corporate collections in Turkey, the UK, the United States, Canada and Australia. I live in Adana, Turkey. I am a member of both local and national jury-selected artists' associations and often participate in Turkish-government sponsored exhibitions in other countries. I paint in both figurative and abstract styles, but most recently my interest has been in capturing the kind of details in nature that you would usually pass by without a second glance: things like weathered rocks, broken branches and dying leaves. The idea behind this 'Vanitas' series is perhaps that the value and beauty of the ordinary things in nature lies in their impermanence. Many of my works are built up of multiple layers over a long period of time − using a variety of techniques and tools. Layers of paint are poured, glazed, scratched, and rubbed away until the desired effect is achieved. Each exhibition I take part in brings me into contact with many artists and art lovers, whose feedback and reactions to my work I find invaluable. I continue to develop new techniques and explore new approaches in order to develop my personal response to the world around me.
