an innate interest in drawing I left the high school and started
working in advertisement agencies while also accepting commissions
for illustrations.
Later on, I finished high school as an external
student and I was accepted by the Advertisement Graphics Department
of Marmara University Applied Fine Arts Faculty, from which I
graduated.
I abandoned my post-graduate studies to establish a
boutique advertisement agency together with a friend, which continued
until about ten years ago. Since then I only did illustration works
on commission without direct involvement in advertisement business.
Meanwhile I drew three comic strips.
About five years ago I decided
to embark on an endeavour to express my thoughts with a philosophical
approach in illustrative graphics style, resulting in the present
series of paintings.
Next year I intend to start the second series
in the same style under the concept “Geometric reflections of the
universes” hoping to hold a mirror to ourselves.
I have participated in Florence Biennale in the year 2019.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, my participation in Barcelona Art Fair and Basel Biannale has been postponed to 2021.
My
works consist of 81 paintings in 12 themes. If I may briefly explain,
my concept is “GEOMETRY, man’s self-created system of value and
measurement”, or in another way of approach “Embodiment of
values”.
