About the Artist

My Works

A person creates by abstracting. All the cultural development of a person rests on his ability of abstraction. From words to numbers, and to all tools that we use, all the creations are abstractions.

Art pieces are also the products of this abstract thinking. Different fine arts types are named after the relation between the images they carry and the nature. Their general fiction and structuring are as abstract as the other types of individual creativity.

Except these, all the objects which are outside of us and the products of individual are in the same abstraction. But, these figuratively abstract objects are considered as a part of the nature. Buildings, cars, chairs and tables are all abstract figures which are the products of this creation.

It is important to understand the abtsraction under the circumstances which we live in, considering the natural habitat of the self.

Under this point of view, I figure the formal and aesthetic values of the traditional art in my works for using a visual balance. The reason that the concept of balance has a lot of importance to me is in my quest to get rid of the imbalances of the life itself. I think that every element creates an energy problem to be solved into the surface it is located. Under this framework, art for me is not only expression but also creating and solving the problems within their own structure.

I can evaluate my position in fine arts, which I came through a gradual abstraction, as a reinterpretation of the abstraction in the space-object relations.
