In the beginning of my painting practices my main objective of painting abstract pictures was a way of escape. Making uncommon connections between forms and spaces, techniques and gestures, association and composition. These artworks gently invited the viewer to gaze at them and let their subconcious half tell its unique story. These works were based on music and inner experiences. Later on I continued experimenting and adding figurative elements to abstract foundations. These works are about the connection of artifical and nature, individual and society in a grotesque way, usually involving criticism.

Periodically I always return to abstract as it’s my sweetheart, giving me informal limitlessnes of expressing myself and experimenting. Painting pictures that are frontal and out of frame or pieces that are more likely to be meditative/ ambient.
Nowdays I am working on methods and structures to get timeless essence but still contemporary touch. It is a way of combining philosophy, amortization, traditional and modern techniques, palettes and elements. I find interest in making different surfaces and textures. I also had experiments with textiles made of different density and fabric. Dying, painting and bleaching these fabrics and applicating them. My work practice also contains destroying materials, applying-, composing them onto a bigger picture. The final artworks are based upon my current feelings, gestures, reflextion of my experiences.
