Paintings, Prints, and Commissions
My paintings are colorful abstract line art pieces which incorporate elements from my Turkish heritage to highlight the beauty of Middle Eastern cultures and the experiences of being a middle eastern woman in the United States. I usually start with a concept- the classic middle eastern nose that has been a source of insecurity for me and many other women around the world, the powerful evil eye, graceful butterflies- and then I build my line art around the balance of the chosen motifs. Once I establish a color pallet to match the intended feeling of the piece, I start painting! I finish all of my paintings with gold accents to make them come to life.
