My work focuses on exploring things that surround us, such as intimate spaces, interiors and objects with personal meanings. My interest is centred around the personal identity and its mapping through objects. I mainly work with oil and acrylic paints -a classical technique- with an emphasis on colours and recurring motifs. I am deeply inspired by the traditional art forms of different people. The repetition of patterns in an alternating rhythm (e.g. North-African, Oriental and similar kinds of motifs that I discovered during my travels) is one of the main characteristics of my work. I continuously make countless sketches and photos of patterns found on tile-works and traditional potteries to expand my collection of motifs. These patterns with various meanings serve as an inspiration for my paintings. For me, these dynamic patterns represent the continuity of being.
