Inherited Garden is the title of my latest collection of paintings in the past few years. It has been an attempt at investigating and discovering various visual qualities based on history and nature. The endeavour started with objects such as plants, flowers and fruits and eventually found its way into other visual forms. My great passion for the world painting heritage and the visual roots of the world, combined with my ethnicity, have had an undeniable influence on my new collection.
The years 2020 and 2021 marked a profound transformation within my artistic evolution. A stronger inclination toward the use of color and the creation of large-scale compositions became defining characteristics of this stage. A renewed connection with nature—especially through floral forms and branches—combined with earlier elements such as busts, resulting in a fresher and more dynamic visual language. The coiling bodies of snakes gradually evolved into the swirling, dance-like movements of flowers and stems. Techniques such as wet-on-wet painting, multi-layering, and collage introduced greater vitality and motion into the compositions. This series was titled “Virgin”, reflecting my belief in the unparalleled beauty and perfect essence of nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
