I’m a self-taught artist, born in Çanakkale, raised in Istanbul, and currently based in Stuttgart. Art has been a vital part of my life for as long as I can remember—it gives me a sense of vitality, freedom, and peace. The coastal landscapes of my childhood continue to echo in my work, especially in my use of watercolour and acrylics. I explore human nature and emotion through painting, often letting spontaneity and physical engagement guide the process.
My approach is intuitive and tactile. I embrace the mess, the texture, and the unexpected outcomes that come with working by hand. Each piece emerges as a response—unfiltered and raw—to whatever I’m feeling or experiencing in the moment.
