Her work is informed by her personal experiences and her desire to explore the human-nature relationship. His exhibitions have met with audiences in art centers such as Istanbul, Ankara, Paris and Dubai. The artist continues his works in his studio in Istanbul.
In his works, he reinterprets the human form with a figurative approach. The role of nature and animals occupies a central place; he questions the questions of human identity and existence through the bond he establishes with nature. Leaving the facial expressions of the individual in the background, he focuses his expression on movement and gestures. With exaggerated proportions such as large hands and feet, he transforms the inner world of the figures into a visual metaphor.
Animal figures hold a mirror to the human subconscious. Animals reflect the emotions hidden by humans with a brave openness. The animal figures in his works question man's impact on nature and at the same time his inner harmony with it. Figures and theatrical atmospheres within nature themes offer a powerful expression of storytelling.
He tends towards contrasts and bright tones in the use of color, creating a sometimes melancholic and sometimes hopeful narrative with vibrant colors. Aiming to blur the boundaries between nature and man, his works offer not only a visual but also an emotional and philosophical experience.
