SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: NATURE "Undoubtedly, nature has a magnificent aesthetic and a perfect design that integrates with its rhythm and harmony. In the cycle of daily hustle and bustle, I think that the traces of the unique beauties of nature, which form a whole with our thousand kinds of flowers, beetles and cute animal friends, disappear with each passing day, erased from the memory of mankind. Therefore, I hope that by presenting the images I have often captured in nature to the public's view, accompanied by a strong aesthetic emphasis and a visual feast, people will revive the magic of nature in their souls and care about it again. Let's not forget that we're not going it is the responsibility of all of us to best preserve this priceless legacy and carry it to future generations." ART:  "Although I am a photographer educated in analogue photography and respectful to it, I would like to make it clear that for the surrealistic pieces I made in last ten years in digital. I am impressed by Max Ernst, Rene Magritte and especially Salvador Dali, as they are the forth comming icons of surrealism. Especially in my abstract artworks, I believe that the contrast of light-shadow in my manipulated photographs, the clear-flu field, the fore-background elements, put a surplus value on my work in terms of size. Moreover, the visual integrity perceived from a distance to my works, which has different meanings in the details when examined closely, is another originality of my works. My work consists of different subjects, from the streets of Istanbul to its historical monuments, from various cities to museums, from different objects to nature. My works are digital collage works produced with a wide artistic identity, ranging from abstract and conceptual and sometimes minimalist style to surrealism." "I wish that the light within you will shine forever and that the love of art in your soul will never be lost."
