Artist's Statement

I am a self-taught artist, working in various styles.

As a child, I often found myself alone. Despite this solitude, I dreamed, imagined, and felt as though I was never truly by myself. I drew on anything I could find - pieces of paper, the edges of newspapers, and later on asphalt and sand. Through drawing, I lived and expressed myself in the worlds that I created.

As I grew older, my life became a series of constant moves. Although moving was unbearably tiring, I eventually discovered incredible benefits. Each change in location altered my internal perceptions, igniting new, mysterious inspirations that were previously hidden from view. These inspirations emerged suddenly, and it was impossible to tear myself away from the flow that followed. However, just as quickly as they appeared, they would vanish, and sometimes, I had to move again. Some works remained perpetually unfinished, leaving me frustrated. But after a year or more, as if by magic, I would find myself drawn to these unfinished works, and unexpected elements would emerge. It felt like an archaeological excavation where something unforeseen is always uncovered.

My experiences taught me that the world and perception are profoundly layered. My work and process are not linear but cyclical, encompassing all time - past, future, and a sense of timelessness. This unbearable instability revealed to me that what seemed chaotic actually held a hidden thread. By continuing to move blindly, where it seems there is nothing, we can encounter unexpected things and ride a new, exciting wave.

As I continue to work in my cherished solitude, I feel connected to the whole, self-sufficient, a part of nature and various energies. I am an artist, a hermit, a nomad, a seeker.
