Cv/bio
I studied at Academy of Fine Art in Istanbul, obtaining a Master"s Degree in stage and visual art .
I began painting as a child, entering competitions starting in high school. " Kabatas " I won two awards in the first year of my studies.
These successes in the national sphere were an inspiration to me for throughout my youth.
Between 1979 and 2001, I designed more than one hundred theater sets and costumes for the State Theaters. During my career in the theater, i continued to painting.
I have always been an impressionist painter, primarily using oils. Artistic scenes have always been fascinating to me,
while vivid color and powerful light are indispensable components of my work.
I have studied and researched painting and theatrical arts in America, Canada, and England.
