Collapsed Painting

Turkish Artist living and working in United States. My passion for art began when I was very young. I attended a painting competition organized by Unicef for the National Children's day in elementary school and won the first prize award. My painting was printed as postcards and distributed all around Europe. Since that day painting has become my favorite hobby. Throughout my life, I have traveled to numerous countries and enjoyed the local experiences along with the traditions of these various cultures. These experiences have shaped my particular style of art and motivated me to reflect on the rhythms of music, the histories of various cultures, colors and the traditions inherent to each in my art. I am particularly fascinated by Latin and Mexican culture, their lively music and heritage. You can see the traces of my inspiration of Mexican art and culture in my Rainbow collection. My artwork is a combination of my feelings inspired by the eclectic cultures all across the world, music, spirituality and nature. I am captivated by the literature of different societies, and how their cultural heritage evolves into their art, music and becomes a unique story of their own to mark a period. I don’t limit myself to any subject, concept or style. I am purely inspired by existence in all it’s forms. I enjoy creating abstract art because it gives me the best way to express my creative energy in an unlimited way. Most of my inspiration comes from the places I travel. One of my highlights as an artist was creating an album cover for a band from Detroit which was released in February 2021. The band Bossa Fresca Trio thought that my painting "Indigenous" captures the vibrant colors of Brazillian 50s/60s and the spirit of their music. I don’t set any boundaries or rules to follow while enjoying the act of painting. I love experiencing the conscious flow of creativity and oneness in every second of my creative journey. I hope you enjoy my artwork, and it would resonate with you. Only thing I enjoy as much as painting itself is when one finds a part of herself/himself in my artwork.
