I was mostly influenced by artists such as Caravaggio and Leonardo Da Vinci in my paintings. I try to portray figures in a voluminous and dramatic way with the Chiaroscuro technique.I have been influenced by Leonardo Da Vinci's Sfumato technique in my paintings and have included it in my work, and I have emphasized achieving a more natural expression in my portraits by softening the color transitions.Exhibitions and Events Participated; - Adana 2nd Cocktail Festival Painting Workshop 2025 - Antalya 2nd Contemporary Art Fair 2025 - Izmir Antique and Art Fair 2024 - Art Sentez Painting Sculpture Exhibition Adana 2024 - Adana Cocktail Festival Painting Workshop 2024 - 1st INTERNATIONAL ANTALYA ART FAIR 2024 - JANUS Painting Sculpture Exhibition 2023 - Bursa Mixed Painting Exhibition 2023 - ART Ankara 9th Contemporary Art Fair - Hatay Painters Mixed Painting Exhibition 2023 - Antakya Art Meeting 2023 - Transformation Painting Exhibition 2023 - Southern Initiative Mixed Painting Exhibition 2022 - Patch Work III Bodrum Art Fair 2022 - 5’ International Gülnar Science and Culture Event 2022 - Milas Municipality 1st National Painting Workshop 2022 - Izmir World Art Day “Intersecting Paths” 2022 - Adana Korart Gallery ‘Hello to the New Year’ Mixed Painting Exhibition 2021 - Adana ‘Pop UP’ Mixed Painting Exhibition 2020 - Hatay Prime Mall AVM Exhibition Hall Painting Sculpture Mixed Exhibition 2013 - Adana ‘May 1’ Painting-Sculpture Mixed Exhibition 2010 - Adana ‘Road’ exhibition 2008 - Adana – Çukurova University Painting-Sculpture-Print Competition Exhibition 2007 - Hatay- Painting-Sculpture-Print Exhibition 2007 - Mersin University Graduation Exhibition 2006 - Erdemir Iron-Steel Sculpture Exhibition 2005 - Mersin Plastic Arts Exhibition 2004 - Mersin Fine Arts Gallery- Plastic Arts Exhibition 2004 - Mersin University Faculty of Fine Arts ‘Niches 1 Painting-Sculpture Mixed Exhibition’ 2003
