Have been working as A Professor at Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts

I have researches and publications in the field of Turkish Carpet Art and European Tapestry weaving. I have international awards in the field of Woven Painting and Original Printmaking, have participated in many national and international personal, group exhibitions and Biennials. I have continue my works on Woven Painting and Original Printmaking in Istanbul.

The act of weaving is actually a process. The visual differences and aesthetic structure of weaving techniques from thousands of years of tradition allow us to obtain more than enough elements for the creation of a work of art. While considering the basic principles of weaving as an aesthetic structural element, I create the language of Weaving Painting with the colors I get from yarns as if mixing paint on a palette, while pointing out the contrast between the aesthetic and the practical.

I chose a style of expression in which the abstract and the concrete are intertwined, I am after weaving a simple and original attitude. The games played on the surface with “seals” formed by knitting from the details I chose from traditional motifs both go outside and stay inside the traditional structure.

I have been thinking and producing for a long time on how the traditional can be reinterpreted with a contemporary language.
