As an artist, I believe that development lies in constantly pushing the boundaries that I have previously set for myself. This process is never-ending. In the early stages of my creative journey, I gravitated towards more traditional materials and techniques, thinking that this would appeal to a wider audience. However, over the course of 10 years, I have transformed both as an artist and as a person. Now, the materials I work with hold less significance to me. I believe that artistic expression should not be confined by the limitations of a particular medium. I utilize various materials such as cardboard, canvas, paper, walls, and even bird feathers collected from a nearby park to achieve the desired form. Additionally, I incorporate found objects like old photographs, records, postcards, and my own personal writings to add depth to my paintings. The impressions and images gathered from my ethnographic expeditions also play a crucial role in my work.
My current focus is breaking away from the stereotypical mindset of consuming art like fast food, where viewers simply swallow without truly digesting its meaning. I see myself as a psychologist of sorts, helping individuals delve into the depths of their own emotions and experiences. Mythological and biblical narratives serve as rich sources for exploring the complexities of human nature - love, death, good, evil, betrayal, and self-sacrifice.
In my artistic practice, I choose to address important social and philosophical concepts such as war, emigration, the role of volunteers, refugee issues, environmental concerns, and the challenges faced by women in patriarchal societies. My ultimate goal is to continue capturing people's attention and provoking thought on these critical subjects. I aim to shake society out of its complacency, to open eyes that may have been closed for too long. To achieve this, I plan to increase my productivity and create more artworks. By organizing solo exhibitions, I hope to share my perspective and worldview with a wider audience, creating a platform for dialogue and understanding.
