Escapes: Many things are happening here. I wanted to escape
reality and take everyone with me to “a dream world”
where any dream can come true. I left the city in the background
to express our true reality and the reflections of
water to show different emotions of serenity and self-reflection.
The emotions in this collection are very strong and
daring. Bravery and self-perception are an element in this
collection.
A Vision: Takes us a leap to the future. Everyone needs
to feel a sense of belonging and needs to feel at home. I focused
on landscapes in Dubai, because Dubai has a special
place in my heart. I believe in Dubai’s vision of the future
and am impressed by its ambitious leader. It’s constant evolution
is a source of my inspiration. The beauty and liveliness
of the city captivated my heart.

SPECIAL INTERVIEW
You have been to a lot of cities throughout your life.
Which cities did you like the most in ways of art
and life in the city?
Although Dubai gave me love, life and hope and I keep on
admiring its beauty every day, İstanbul is my second home.
I love İstanbul and have been going there for as long as I can
remember and have watched the way it evolved. From the
historical sights, to the night lights I am inspired by Istanbul’s
energy. İstanbul has everlasting richness, beauty and
culture that you would never find anywhere else.
Reflections: An invitation to explore the humanity in us.
This collection consists of portraits of persons with strong
different emotions. Whether it is hope, gratitude, loneliness,
confusion, lust or anger, these persons reflect our
humanity.
Private Collection: A series of unique individual pieces
that represent a milestone in my art journey and that I
would like to hold on forever.
In the past few months, you have joined the art fair in
Bodrum. In a few days, you are going to join IAAF in
İstanbul. What do you think about these expositions?
I am enjoying these expositions and fairs, because they
made me feel connected with the art community and I was
able to share my passion and emotions with many different
kinds of people from all over the world. It is a fantastic experience
and it has left me feeling very fulfilled.
You have been in Turkey for a while now.
What do you think about Turkey and İstanbul?
I become speechless when it comes to Turkey. It is an amazing
empire by itself. Its beauty and its history are breath
taking. I love and enjoy being there and enrich my horizons
and get inspired.
