“Born in Ankara in 1948, I am a visionary, pursuing an extraordinary journey that spans from economics to technology, from free trade to deeply rooted Turkish art. Although I have been exposed to various disciplines throughout my life, my true passion has always been to explore the rich artistic heritage of our culture and reinterpret it from a modern perspective. In 1992, I settled in a quiet village in Marmaris and began to live this passion to the fullest, making innovative works that blend traditional Turkish arts, especially the forgotten ones, with today’s aesthetics. Now in Ankara, I continue to produce works that pay homage to our roots while at the same time carrying them into the future.”
