Series-4
I investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.

My paintings doesn’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, I create intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.
My work establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence.

Spring Reappearance-I “Spring Reappearance-I”

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

Series-7 (Forms)

Multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. By choosing mainly formal solutions, I try to develop forms that do not follow logical criteria, but are based only on subjective associations and formal parallels, which incite the viewer to make new personal associations.

Innocent Pink “Innocent Pink”

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

Series-9, Urbanscapes

My this series works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. In a search for new methods to ‘read the city’, i focused on the idea of ‘public space’ and more specifically on spaces where anyone can do anything at any given moment: the non-private space, the non-privately owned space, space that is economically uninteresting.
I tried to contact with architecture and basic living elements. Energy (heat, light, water), space and landscape are examined in less obvious ways and sometimes developed in absurd ways.

Painting is well stretched and edges are painted.

Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
