Like jazz bebop. There is no melody, there are no rules to walk on, just a way to put painting into a canvas, a pictorial exercise.

Based on images( Internet, analogic, tapestry and tile works are my favorite ones nowadays), the projector transforms a digital one into a painting with a loss of information; the displacement of the projector, or the interpretation of the color due to the ambient light may be useful to the composition, I learn from the mistake and process.

The origin of a paintings goes back to an idea that over time has adapted to an old one, painting should have the skill  to adapt itself as a city does.

Current work; a pictorial exercise

Topograpich landscape series is the background. I use this technique in my current works.  This serie is an explosion into textures and color in big sizes. 


To me landscape is an excuse to work with painting. It is a content that arises during the process of the work. In this series, I approach landscape views from a topographical perspective. I like how this type of work connects with the current way we have to understand space thanks to drones and satellites that help us to acquaint ourselves in an abstract way with both terrestrial and extraterrestrial landscapes.

Topographic landscapes

Micro-Chrome series are around the world. I have done more than 200 big paintings . I have a solo show in Hong Kong  and Istanbul with this serie too.  It is an important part of my background and  research about how to use images. In this series I used the images simultaneously, and I was already interested in placing a lot of information in the borders of a painting as i do now in my tapestry works. I realice now that I really keen on the way that information of a painting interacts with his limits.

Micro-chrome series

I thought about this serie when I found myself living in Istanbul. A magic and crowded city where you may lost your connection with nature. This piece exalts the figure of Caspar David Friedrich and Romanticism. I like to do this kind of works time to time. It is a part of my learning about the image and my evolution as a painter. If painting would be an alphabet, the knowledge of this series is a letter to me.
 
The landscape as an excuse to find back yourself in a big city. Large-format pieces designed to interact with city wanderers from their tiny apartments surrounded by buildings and pollution.
