Artist Statement I paint the way I feel the world. I have been painting since my childhood as far back as I can remember. My first painting was on my mother's white purse using her lipstick. My next project was to to improve the decor of my aunt's apartment floor using her pink nail polish.

My first paintings were oil based. Then I worked with watercolour. Recently, I have been working with acrylics and mixed media. My style also evolved from representational art to abstract art. I work with realistic objects, but I present them from a surrealist perspective.

Colour and texture characterize my paintings. I work with complementary colours and colour shades. The earth tones, oranges, and blues are usually more dominant because I feel that they harmonize better with my abstract subjects. Because of my origins, I tend to use objects from the Anatolian decorational tradition. That is why objects such as tulips, birds and fishes are dominant in my work. I create abstract compositions by combining modern art philosophy with thousand year old figures.

I hold an Art Diploma Degree from Ottawa School of Art. I have participated in several solo and group exhibitions. A number of my paintings are in private collections. Some of my paintings can be seen at the Boutique of Ottawa School of Art.
