From the moment I became aware of myself, I had a passion for making paper dolls and creating an enchanting paper world for them, without realizing that playing these games would become the foundation of my art. Without a doubt, this passion led me to choose art as my major in university, and the collage technique, which had somehow been ingrained in me, became the dominant feature in most of my artworks. This technique has no boundaries and can be used in the most creative artworks. I am very happy to have this ability, as every moment spent doing this feels like therapy and meditation to me, and it's like experiencing the joy of a second childhood in adulthood.
My works are primarily a blend of collage and mixed media techniques, with my favorite elements combining modern objects and very old and antique photographs. I pay attention to detail and enjoy making art that encourages viewers to look at it for at least a few minutes and appreciate its intricacies.
