The understanding of existentialism in my work and gave me the main idea revealed the figures in my works. In my Master's research, I examined the works of many important artists in the 20th century. Existentialism is philosophical thoughts that try to understand the styles and processes of human existence. I follow the principles of art and design elements by blending the real image of the figures with this concept by addressing the structure of free thinking. By planning this trend, I play the models I created in my pictures. This can often be monitored as an abstract expressionist or abstract landscape work. And among the techniques I adopt while creating these works; Oil paint, printing and digital art. The important thing here is the colors I choose for the composition when preparing my drafts in a creative mood. Light is very important to me, so even in an abstract expressionist or abstract field composition, the search for light is a reference to the concept of existence. I create all of my works as if they have transformed them into an entity, and I try to fix the energy of the picture with high and free with the saturated colors I use on the process. As an visual artist, I referencing the emotions of the beings living in the world and I include multiple narratives in these paintings. With freedom and inspiration from people who discover themselves, I continue to do my work in an innovative attitude that takes humanity to the future more easily.
