About me

From a young age, I’ve been someone who asked questions, who didn’t just go along with what was considered ‘normal.’ I had a strong urge to think differently, to explore new paths—not out of stubbornness, but out of curiosity. It always felt natural to experiment, to play with unconventional ideas and give them shape.

That drive toward the unexpected eventually led me to art. I started out painting, and over time, sculpture became part of my practice as well. For me, art is not a choice—it’s something that happens naturally, as if it’s in my blood. The inner need to create is always there, sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. Whether it’s a canvas, a sculpture, or an object that also serves a function—it always begins with the same impulse to bring something new to life.

In addition to that creative drive, I have always had a strong connection to nature. As a child, I was almost always outside—among the trees, the mountains, the sounds of the wind and the water. I still feel that connection, and it has a great influence on my work. I am fascinated by the beauty of nature, the balance, and the simplicity that make everything so extraordinary.

That’s why I consciously work with natural materials and dyes. I’ve experimented a lot—ranging from coffee to red wine, even with baker’s flour. In the end, I developed my own palette of plant-based and mineral pigments. Each result is unique. Even I never know exactly how it will end— and that keeps it exciting.

For my sculptures, I use materials like wood, stone, and steel. They carry their own history, their own energy. I try to make those stories visible in my work—tangible, perceptible. In this way, I capture something of nature in each creation.

My work is thematically very varied. Sometimes I work in series with clear narratives, full of color and influences from Cubism. Other times, I explore abstraction, for example, in the expression of a face. Each series is different because my search is always evolving. That keeps me sharp and alive as an artist.

In my recent works, I focused on something else: the inner life of humans. The paintings and sculptures I created deal with emotion, with what lives within. Each piece is an attempt to make the invisible visible—to give form to feelings, moods, and inner movements.
