Concept

Animals who do not have language communicate their sensations and emotions to each other through eye contact, gestures, poses, and facial expressions. Their actions are often marked by compassion, kindness, giving, politeness, and deep, genuine "love. When it comes to their sixth sense, they are many times more perceptive than humans. As he continued to create, it was a natural progression that his favorite motifs became animals. There are many things that humans can learn from wild animals and pets. His style is characterized by his unique sense of humor and deformation. Each work has its own situation and story setting. Through the filter of colorful and cute, they give a positive impression of friendly entertainment. The entrance to his art world is gentle, bright, and fun. Behind the surface are sensual and wordy messages about what is universally important as "living creatures" and what we must not forget. All of his works do not use brushes. They are painted with a primitive technique in which solid paint is applied directly to the canvas by hand. The expression and style of his work changes optimally according to the theme of the work. Humorous, serious, precise, minimalist, and more ... The core of all his works is consistently "love".
