ABOUT THE ARTWORK

who immigrated our birds Under this title, I used human-headed bird drawings in Seljuk tile motifs. With this drawing, we are forced to migrate because of the same problems as the birds that had to migrate. birds migrate for weather conditions and breeding habits. Our only concern is the desire to immigrate to countries that offer reasonable conditions. The Seljuk period was a very rich period in terms of art and culture. During this period, many different elements of the works coexisted. The human-headed bird is among the many tile motifs of this period. There are various theories as to why the human-headed bird figure was frequently used in this period. Some scholars consider this figure to be one of the first religious depictions that emerged with the Turks' conversion to Islam. Human figures are rarely encountered in Islamic art, so bird and animal figures are often used instead of human figures. In addition, bird figures were generally used in many motifs throughout the Seljuk period. These figures also point to the animal husbandry and hunting culture of the period. Bird figures also contain a rich symbolism as they are flying creatures thought to be a closer model to God. As a result, the use of the human-headed bird figure in the tile motif of the Seljuk period has different reasons in terms of the tradition of not including the human figure in Islamic art, animal husbandry and hunting culture, and symbolism.

I am a sculptor painter, I live in Istanbul. I was born in Istanbul. I graduated from Marmara University Fine Arts Faculty Sculpture Department. I completed my master's degree by writing a thesis on "Transforming the symbols of the Phrygian civilization of the Old Anatolian civilization into textile patterns". Ancient Anatolian civilizations have always fascinated me. Now I produce it by transferring it to my art. I carry the old artistic ornaments and patterns of Turkish culture to my art. I reflect the mystical religious figures and rituals of my geography to my art. 1 piece of my works is included in the collection of the Korean museum. I continue to participate in exhibitions abroad and in the country. I especially use the words of Konya Mevlana Rumi in my works. I carry the motifs and figures of ancient Anatolian civilizations to my drawings. Especially in my recent products named "KARATAY", I am going over the female figure in the Kubadabat palace tiles. I paint my designs with watercolor and gouache paints. 300 gr. I produce hand drawings digitally with high quality fine art printing on paper. I use large sizes of acrylic hand painted on canvas. I use red and white clay as ceramics in my sculptures. In some of my works, I use mixed media drawing and embossing on paper masche and fabric. My Instagram account where you can follow me
