“The Moment Comes” (watercolor, 50 × 70 cm) It is possible to reach a picture with watercolors before the emotions run out, like the moment a bird hangs in the air.

I was born in Amasya/TÜRKİYE on 1974. Graduated from Marmara Univercity, Faculty of Fine Arts, Painting Department.

Middle School and High School, I am a Visual Arts Teacher and wildlife artist.

Watercolor is a special material; It is possible to reach a painting without running out of emotions with watercolors. Such as life.

“Tern and Cub” (watercolor. 50 × 70 cm) The mother’s scent and warmth give the cub peace of mind.

The idea behind Wildlife art is to use my artwork to fund my efforts towards a better environment.

Artwork can be such a vital tool in this regard as it often can hold so much power.
