ABOUT

I am a craft practitioner working primarily through hand-led processes. My background spans tattooing, printmaking, sculpture, and traditional photographic methods, disciplines that demand precision, patience, and a deep respect for materials.

I was raised in a family and village of artisanal makers, with sewing, quilting, knitting, winery and woodcraft forming part of everyday life. This early exposure shaped my relationship with craft as something disciplined, quiet, and learned through repetition of daily life, rather than expression alone.

Across my practice, I work with materials that resist, respond, and require careful handling - fabric, skin, paper, wood, stone. I am drawn to artforms where skill is accumulated slowly and mastery is built through observation, discipline, and doing.

INSPIRATION & INFLUENCES

A descendant of Mongolian nomadic, Turkish, and Bulgarian heritage, I carry my ancestral and cultural lineage into each work. These inherited ways of seeing — rooted in land, movement, and making — quietly inform my approach to craft.

My multidisciplinary practice includes painting, sculpture, photography, print, and digital animation, shaped through formal education at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, the University of Pécs, and Dumlupinar University. My training spans sculpture, drawing, painting, photography, animation, calligraphy, pottery, glasswork, and traditional craft processes, supported by a grounding in art history, philosophy, and Central Asian art.

At the essence of my work, I explore identity, personal mythology, and the evolving nature of craft itself. Each piece becomes a mirror — echoing memory, emotion, and truth. Whether ink on skin, pigment on canvas, or sculpted form, every work emerges through dialogue: a considered collaboration between your story and mine.

I believe we are all made of Earth and Time. Race is a social construct — our skin merely different shades of wheat — reflecting our shared humanity under two enduring forces: Mother Earth and Father Time.

Through the fusion of diverse cultural and material influences, my work seeks a sense of harmony and internationalism. It invites a contemplative experience — one that honours both individual identity and our collective existence within a shared world.

My practice is, at its core, an act of remembrance — of our shared humanity.
