About The Artwork
One of the historical symbols of Istanbul, Galata Tower. Galata Tower, which is considered among the oldest towers in the world and one of the symbols of Istanbul, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2013. Galata Tower, one of the most important structures forming the silhouette of Istanbul, was used as a long-term fire watchtower and was named Galata Fire Tower. Galata Tower was first built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in 507 - 508 AD. The Genoese rebuilt the present tower in 1348 - 49. The tower was raised between 1445 and 46. It was damaged by the earthquake in the 1500s and was repaired by Architect Murad bin Hayreddin. III. After the tower was repaired during the Selim period, a bay window was added to the upper floor of the tower. In 1831, the tower suffers another fire, II. Mahmut rises two more floors above the tower and the top of the tower is covered with the famous cone-shaped roof cover. The tower, which was repaired in 1967, will be restored in 2020.

Turkey
I graduated from Istanbul Mimar Sinan University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Textile. In my business life, I turned to fashion design. In this regard, I worked as a designer and creative director in domestic and international clothing companies. In my professional life, I worked with watercolor, charcoal technique and various software especially in my designs. I am still working on painting by combining my academic education with my long years of designer experience. Ancient civilizations, cities, nature and abstract subjects, which are among the historical riches of our country, occupy an important place in my watercolor and charcoal painting works. The details, together with the general harmony in the compositions, attract my attention and are effective in my works. With these works, I took part in various exhibitions and organizations. After the annoying pandemic process that affects us all, participation in these organizations and exhibitions is starting again professionally.
