Background

My creative journey began with a passion for architecture, which later evolved into a dedication to fine arts. After earning my bachelor’s degree in fine art in 2014, I spent about 8 years as a 2D artist in the gaming industry. Although this experience refined my technical skills, I felt the need to return to painting as a space for authentic personal expression.

Artistic Practice

Since moving to the United States in 2023, I have devoted myself entirely to art. I completed the Drawing and Painting Years at the Grand Central Atelier. My practice is experimental and process-driven: I often use unconventional tools such as syringes to create layered textures that bring a tactile, dynamic quality to the surface.

Exploration of People and Psychology

At the core of my work lies a deep fascination with people. I study psychology and seek to reflect both character and inner essence through form, material, and texture. My canvases are not only visual compositions but also portraits of emotional states, capturing the unseen layers of human experience. Inspired by artists like Murat Pulat and Ai Weiwei, I aim to merge psychological depth with contemporary technique.

Vision and Purpose

For me, painting is both a mirror of my inner world and a bridge to others. Beyond artistic expression, I channel part of my earnings to support families in need, ensuring my practice carries a social as well as aesthetic impact. Ultimately, my goal is to create art that resonates emotionally, sparks reflection, and contributes to meaningful connection.
