Talens Painting Competition, Oil Painting category among the university students. In 2004 he was invited as a youngest artist for the METU 6. Plastic Arts Exibition. Using both figurative and abstract elements in his works, Volkan does not intend to give messages to the viewer while forming his compositions. Combining warm and cold shades in the colour compinations he creates. He offers a different aproach and shapes his 'narrative' on the bases of expressionist style. The expression in his compositions is accepted by the viewer, without any prerequisites, which has unchanging valdity for Volkan. He never refrains from different experimentetions with in the limits he foresees and aims to attain a simple wholeness of emotions. He is describing his art as a world of fine balance between the darkness and illumination. He lives and works in Turkey. .yildirmaz?igshid=YzAwZjE1ZTI0Zg==
