Art Perspective;

“My explanation about this print in my works of art I always try to combire people’s sorrows, dreams and expectations for the future. They are symbolized by means of birds, fishbones, dragonflies and some other insects. I prefer using certain tones of brown, orange and turquise blue mostly. Generaly I prefer breaking out very little pieces from the edges of the block. That means nothing in life is excellent.”
