Gates of the Soul – Textured Mixed Media Abstract Painting Artwork

I am an artist exploring the inner boundaries of light and darkness through symbolism and visual metaphor. My work transforms emotions and inner visions into visual stories, using mixed media techniques that invite reflection and emotional resonance. Initially working with decorative interior art, I gradually shifted toward creating meaningful, thought-provoking pieces that communicate on a deeper level. In addition to conceptual work, I also explore anime-inspired art, capturing its atmosphere and emotional intensity through my personal lens. I often use textured paste, gold leaf, and layered materials to add tactile depth and dimension to my paintings. My works have been exhibited internationally — including at the Louvre (Paris), Rome, Izmir, Ankara, Antalya, and Belgrade — and are part of private collections in Turkey, Serbia, and Russia.
