I start my paintings with a single source of inspiration coming from nature and my environment and continue without knowing what it will result in. Details I see that many indispensable secrets of my works are hidden in those small details and I want to show you this. I feel that nature and human complement each other and even that nature gradually transforms us into itself. This is not fear, it gives peace. Life, death, life cycle is eternity. I paint and write to reveal our hidden treasures in our subconscious and I explain to my students. Touching people's hearts offers very impressive experiences.I love experimental works in my paintings. I use mixed techniques. My works are mostly watercolor, acrylic, drawing pens etc. on 100% cotton paper. My black series works are acrylic and oil paints on cotton cloth canvas pasted on mdf compressed wood powder.

I graduated from the university as an art teacher. I trained myself in many arts. I do traditional marbling, glass painting, wall paintings, miniature paintings and chıldrens book illustration.
