The historical and cultural values of my country become apparent in the construction of my pictures either consciously or subconsciously.  Turkish miniatures, Kutahya and Iznik ceramics, unique harmony of calligraphy, and the magic of solar spectrum embracing all; constitute a magic box that leaves traces in the depths of my memory.It belongs to me and cultivates my art, and stores my future and dreams while leaving today’s marks.
