statement

How does our past shape who we are? How do we become ourselves and feel completeness as humans? Why do people feel isolated from each other, even though we live as social creatures? And how do we adapt to the ephemeral world around us? These questions always come to mind during my painting process. Human nature, emotions, and the relationship between us and our surroundings are long-standing themes in my practice.

I am a painter who is drawn to work about my own experience of the world. The sense of distance and mystery plays an important role in all my works. My nomadic childhood and family experiences have made me sensitive to emotions and often lament the fleeting beauty of life. I always think about how the environment affects us individually and how each of us responds to the ephemeralness of our surroundings.

I use traditional painting and drawing materials, including oil, acrylics, charcoal, and pastel. The figures in my paintings often take on ambiguous forms and sometimes become incomplete, fusing or fading into the background. The color palettes I use are usually limited to set the tone of the painting and create a specific atmosphere. I work on multiple paintings simultaneously, creating a body of work that has gradually grown over time. With my paintings, I aim to give tangible form to bodily sensations, energy, and things that would otherwise be invisible.
