About

Painting is pictorial memories of visualization on the canvas. As an artist, I bring back these memories to paint.
The painted canvas triggers memories - this is what I play with. It is a play with depiction and aesthetics and also, at the same time, it is a play with the mind and remembrance. I set up relations that can trigger memories so you start to ponder involuntarily. I create constellations. I use the synesthetic memories of my experiences to associate and put the mechanism of this adventure on the canvas - when someone takes a look at my paintings, they make them respond to everyday visual effects. They do not intend to trigger predetermined memories - instead, they remind you of something that is familiar but not this way. These multi-layered, associative effects that I extracted them from our everyday life can lead one to self-determination if in search of coherence. My work has different meanings for everyone as they are strongly related to fantasy which varies from person to person.
