Glass is not a material that comes to mind when one talks about art in Turkey. However, in Sweden, where I lived and worked for many years, as well as in many other countries, glass is a highly appreciated art material. I love to work with glass, it has a soul with the visual movement, the transparency, the texture and the depth of multi-layers in three dimensions. I try to bring out the soul of the glass in my work.

After a long professional work life covering a variety of senior management positions both in Sweden and Turkey, I joined Sirça Fanus group and started to work on artistic techniques on enamelling and glass forming. I had the opportunity to work with both Turkish and international prominent artists on 'kiln casting' glass. In January 2014, I joined a workshop led by the Swedish world famous artist Bertil Vallien to gain experience on a very special technique for artistic glass, called 'sand casting'. I started painting in order to develop further and diversify my artistic capabilities. I like painting the people and lives that made an impression on me during my travels.
