Climbing love shrub
A female figure wrapped in vivid red stands within a dreamlike space where figures, colors, and flowers merge into one another. The artwork explores love as a living, ever-expanding force, like a climbing vine that clings to memories, relationships, and the people we have encountered. It grows within us, shaping and transforming who we are. The piece also reflects on the intimate moment between two people, born through conversation in the words that are spoken, the exchanged glances, the shared silences, and the closeness that gradually unfolds. Love often begins with a small moment of genuine connection, and from there it climbs, branches outward, and deepens over time. The vibrant red symbolizes passion, vitality, and strength, while the figures and flowers in the background represent the relationships, memories, and moments that continue to grow within us, leaving lasting traces on our hearts and lives.

I create in a deeply intuitive way. My artworks begin with something that happens within me a feeling, a thought, a question, or a personal experience. From there, they move outward and meet the world. It is precisely the encounter between my inner world and the external world and sometimes the tension between the two that inspires my work. From this space emerge questions that continuously occupy me: Who are we? What do we believe in? Where do we belong? And how do love, identity, religion, and faith shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us? My creative process is long and multi-layered. It begins with traditional materials, where I create a pencil drawing. I then photograph the work, digitally paint and edit it using professional software, integrate AI as part of the creative process, refine it through further digital editing, and finally produce a high-quality print. Some works are completed with hand-applied markers and paint, adding additional shading, texture, and depth, making each piece unique. I do not always know where a work will lead me. Sometimes I begin with one emotion and discover something entirely different by the end of the process. Perhaps that is why, for me, every artwork becomes a gateway to a world I have not yet discovered.
