With my academic educations in the fields of art history and mythology, I create my personal mythology by adopting a symbolic and metaphorical language of expression in my works. These mythologies are located at the intersection of individual memory and social memory; they are built on an intellectual ground where universal religious and cultural expressions overlap with contemporary socio-political thoughts. This relationship I establish between the mythological and historical and contemporary phenomena creates an ironic and critical context on the visual plane. In my work, I adopt an approach that examines rituals, customs, traditions, language and religious systems in the public sphere. These structures are considered not only as forms that carry cultural continuity, but also as normative mechanisms that shape the individual-society relationship. In my work, I aim to transform these mechanisms by making them visible and to make the viewer a subject of this transformation process. In my art works compositions, I utilize the horizontal, vertical and diagonal forms of nature to carry the visual construction of space to a theoretical level. These orientations function not only as formal preferences but also as mental and symbolic orientations. Thus, the scenes that emerge in my work emerge as utop ian spaces that blur the boundaries between reality and dream and problematize the understanding of time and space.

By reconsidering the paintings that constitute a breaking point in the history of art, I reconsider the social and political codes of the period in the context of today’s culture. This method allows for a critical questioning of historical continuity, while at the same time revealing the effects of the past on the present. I create these inferences with a narrative language.

I believe that art is not only a production of aesthetic form, but also a form of knowledge production and critical thinking. Accordingly, my practice is oriented towards producing a layered discourse that articulates individual experience, cultural codes and social structures. Each of my works is a space of communication with the viewer and sometimes a questioning encounter.
