Artist Statement
Nature is a very important topic of my work. I think nature is a fascinating element that we are unable to fully understand. As the primary state of the environment, it is unlimited and can increase a feeling of peace as well as the opposite state of anxiety. Nature, along with the phenomena and processes occurring in it, has been a frequent motive in the works of artists over the centuries. I often devide the landscape that I see into modules, which I arrange in various parts of my composition. I create abstract works in which I want to express the powerful element of nature. I leave the mimetic representation of reality and focused on showing the changing elements. Currently, I continue to develop the subject of the nature using abstract forms. I focus on shapes and synthesis of surrounding reality. Many of my works until now were made in black and white. Recently I have started to introduce a lot of colors into my compositions. I also try to look for them in nature.
