ABOUT THE WORK

I follow a flowing energy by drawing temperature, weight and density felt on my body because I feel like I can be an honest being to the world during that time. I think body is the middle existence between the physical world and a spiritual world. I believe that it knows nature, time, sadness and love more than me.

I try to extract an image from my mind by focusing on body temperature, muscle tension or density of my senses. There is a method of treatment in psychology where drawing a tree and looking at it is a representation of one’s physical or mental condition. It is a tree but not just a tree. So, when I describe my body’s feeling by drawing, what will it project? I get an image by focusing on the physical sensation. I think that the image contains an experience inside and outside of me. This is because the body is beyond our control like the natural world but it also interacts with one’s emotions. My painting begins from a line or a colour that is expressing my momentary feelings. Then it develops with memories and premonition on my body. Mostly, I am looking at a painting because I am exploring my physical reaction. When every element on a canvas combines and shows me a direction, it is a sign to finish.

I work like diving into a sea of emotions. The surface is always affected by multiple information. I draw to go deeper in my mind.
