ABOUT THE ARTIST
As I am practicing the oldest occupation in the history, it is clear that art has a direct and one-to-one relationship with it’s creator. I usually tell stories in my works. They usually derive from the stories that weren’t written before. Therefore, the audience is free to come to a conclusion. My stories only whisper to the ears of the audience in a descriptive manner; what the audience sees or how to interpret their experiences over my story is just under their own responsibility. Otherwise, it won’t have any difference and raise awareness from the mural paintings in caves of ancient world or any artwork hanging on the white walls of art galleries that were created before.
My works technically harmonize the traces of past with today’s non-existing stories. Sometimes, I visualize today’s up-to-date twinges with an obscure style. Therefore, each and every mind is actually a portrait of past, utopia or the future. The aim of my paintings is to reveal the painful drama without any aesthetically concerns and the shadows of colors and themes. I create my mystic artworks by harmonizing Baroque Classicism with surreality. Under this technical approach, figurative and romantic scenes form the general layout of my paintings.
