Time of the Soil Print

I was born in Ercis, Van, Turkey in 1952. I opened more than ten solo exhibitions and took part in many important group exhibitions. My works are in various collections at home and abroad. My articles and criticisms of the philosophy of art were published in various publications. I continue my painting works in my workshop in Istanbul. I mostly deal with nature in my paintings, but the portrait is also among my subjects. I aim to reach a strong expression in the compositions I create. The plastic concern is always at the forefront of me. Relationships between objects pass through me and arrive at a creative interpretation. The phenomena that make up the content of my topics are entirely fictional. I think that when I reach an imaginary depth by creating meaning, I reach artistic reality. I always look at nature directly. By going to the essence of objects and revealing their truth without denying external facts, it allows me to reflect on my spiritual existence The waters of the time, the trees, the plain depth of the earth, its meaning are the "things" moving inside me. I try to create my forms by adding myself to their story. The excitement of creation in me reflects on my brush as hunger and dissatisfaction as energy, which inevitably leads me to an expressive attitude. My painting develops on the canvas without needing any preparation while working. The pieces of nature that I have accumulated in my subconscious combine with the time fragments, offering me different possibilities, abstracting from the colors and forms of the world of phenomena, and taking a trip within the limits of my inner universe.
