"Painting is what draws me into the here and now, right when I make the first stroke; and while I work it makes me sprout wings, made to take me on an inward journey to capture my outward experiences in colors and forms. It finds a home on canvas and paper that may inspire the viewers to walk in and sprout wings, going on a journey of their own."

About Me

Born in Istanbul/Turkey, I migrated to Germany at the age of five with my family. I grew up in the centre of Germany near Frankfurt/Main, where I finished school and completed an education as a nurse, a profession I occupied for about 15 years, and an experience that still influences my art to this day.

Around 1995, having pursued painting and sculpting since a young age, I decided to devote my professional life to the fine arts fully. Following a productive year, I exhibited my work in a solo exhibition just one year after. This was succeeded by several exhibitions during the following decades. In this time, I collaborated with other artists and started teaching adults and children.

In 2007, I migrated, again, this time to Belgium where I still live and work today.

My main material is acrylic on canvas or paper and aquarelle but also sculpturing, photography and video art. The spectrum of my art reaches from romantic aquarelles to provoking and sociocritical paintings in powerful colours, making use of either figurative or abstract expressions. My inspiration is taken from day-to-day life, embracing and expressing the challenges we are facing every day of our lives.
