Puraa

I studied graphic design at Hacettepe University (Ankara/Turkey) between 1992 and 1998.

I have been living in Cologne (Germany) since 2001.

I am a storyteller. In my paintings I try to visually represent the stories of the universes I create. My goal is to break out of the usual order and to get the chance to look at ourselves from another world and to recognize the fascination of our inner worlds. As a viewer we can look at our own reality.

In my new story I tell about a people called Simarians who have built a great civilization in a parallel universe.

This project began in early 2023 and is not yet complete. I think it will last a long time.

I plan to process each kingdom individually and in separate formats. This could perhaps be small paintings, or a large painting, or sculptures, or short films, or in many other ways. The figures determine what form they take. And the limits of my imagination.
