I live and work since 2003 in Avanos (Turkey), a small town in the Cappadocian landscape.I hardly ever feel ‘the stranger in town’, although we may have different customs and speak a different tongue, we all recognize emotions like love, loneliness, regret and nostalgia. To be recognized and to recognize automatically creates a bond. A bond without words nor borders.People are people are alike.
My sculptures (stone, ceramics, metal or wood) are made from the depth of my inner life. Sometimes I write a poem or make a painting beside them in order to intensify the essence of the theme.
I wish that my works will give the spectator a remembrance and hopefully a gentle smile.
I feel, therefore I exist.
