About Me

I was born in 1966 in Sivas, Turkey, and graduated from Yıldız Technical University with a degree in Chemical Engineering. I worked as a laboratory manager in the chemical industry, where I developed strong analytical and observational skills—experience that now informs my artistic practice. After years of painting as a hobby, I have been working professionally as an artist since 2020. In my work, I use the materials that best suit my style to convey the emotions, life experiences, and societal impacts that shape human life.
