Artist's Statement

In my opinion art is not simply an expression created from the artist, but it is an original creation used to communicate with the world. Therefore, through the form of art, I want  my artistic thoughts to be transferred to the viewer. My Artistic thoughts and  inspirations originate from memories, feelings, dreams, hopes, happiness, pleasures,  desires and sexuality. I utilize various materials in order to symbolize human emotion and experience. I use these processes to connect a surreal world, which contains my inspiration, to the real world of the viewer.

I want my work to give psychological freedom to the viewer. I also want my work to give a substitute satisfaction in order to help people escape from their daily routine life.  For that reason, my work is meant to be a space to make a conversation with the inner world of each person like the feeling of  reading an old diary.
