I have been painting enthusiastically and attending various courses in London and France in the last fifteen years. Since I took early retirement from medicine I have tried to educate myself in art and spent most of my spare time painting.

Recently I have been challenging myself to change my style to loose figuration, aiming abstraction.
I have spent a lot time around the coasts of Mediterrenian and visited Southwest UK.
Born and brought up in Istanbul, I am happiest at the seaside. I hope to convey my emotional attachment to the sea in my latest paintings.

I visited Patogonia in 2019  which left an emotional and visual inprint in my mind. This vast area of wilderness, the wild animals and magnificient glaciers were unforgettable. Especially the fact that most of the water of our earth is stored in these glaciers and their part in keeping the climate stable. Since I came back I cannot stop myself painting these iconic scenes.
