Piece description from the artist
My work is done through lines. Distancing itself from the actual world, it expresses what does not exist in a clear form, and presents a balanced contradiction. Therefore, my work cannot but have an abstract form. The ‘line,’ among others, has been a means and messenger of expressing the state of ‘my being free’. It has various forms, sometimes a round one, and in other times a straight one. In addition, it shows a feeling of being sometimes slow and sometimes pretty fast. I wanted to express and feel with viewers something unlimited that is not restricted to only one field, and to be able to show the infinity of the world through the lines in my paintings.
