I was born in Turkey in 1967. I think the desire to paint developed naturally. I don't remember why I wanted to do it. But it feels good to me. In addition to my engineering education, I received art education in Turkey. I worked in the field of engineering for a long time. I also did art work. I started painting when I was in high school. I participated in many personal and group exhibitions. I gave art workshops and trainings. I opened my first exhibition while I was in college. In the following years, I participated in 8 personal and 12 group exhibitions. At first, I was influenced by Rembrandt and Caravaggio. Later, I followed Monet and Cezanne. I use oil paint, acrylic and different techniques in my paintings. I have lived my entire life just a few steps away from the sea and I think this is the most meaningful source of inspiration for me. I live in Orlando, United States. Solo Exhibitions:
