Art Perspective;
While producing my works, I convey my feelings and ideas, in other words my inner world, with certain shapes, forms, colors and symbols while producing my paintings, which are a reflection of my own period and my own world. I reflect with my fictional works that I am a one-on-one witness of the spirit of my own period, time and place with my joy, anxiety, sadness, socio-economic traces of my period. I handle the temporality intertwined with the phenomenon of time and space, and what remains in my memory with an intuitive and experimental approach. In my works where there is a layered time frame, I create a holistic time with the past, present and future. I invite the audience to my layered time journey from the accumulation of my own moments. The rapid development of technology and science and new initiatives in every field have broken all our routines and turned our minds upside down. Our perception of time has changed our practices of experiencing art with the possibility of everything being everywhere at all times. With these changes, we were faced with an uncertain future idea. In my digitally constructed works, I aimed for a holistic time meeting on today's perception of time with the perception of past and future time. While doing this, there was a time reckoning and comparison within myself. This process led me to create a series about digitally constructed works.

The fiction I designed guides me when determining my choice of plastic material. There is an internal journey plot in my works with stains, colors, textures, and different compositional balances against the emptiness of existence. In my opinion, an artist is someone who looks at what everyone else looks at and sees it differently and conveys it. If I lived in this period and continue to experience the traces and changes of today, my work should reflect this period.
