Welcome to my world of art! I am constantly inspired by nature and all the magical patterns that are found in nature.. around us all the time! I try to focus on the unseen or unnoticed beauties of natural patterns that shines on us everyday.
About Me.
Born and raised in İzmir, Turkey.
Moved to the US in 2006 for college.
After spending several years in the US, I decided to move back to Turkey and start to practice my art as a professional artist. I have been involved in a number of group exhibitions and workshops. In 2018, I opened my first solo show ''Nature Reclaims’'.
