A little about myself:

I am Turkish as some of you may know and some of you may guess. I lived in Istanbul and relocated to Adana on the south coast of Turkey

I love drawing and painting but to my everlasting sarrow I was never able to pursue it in college or in professional life. So art and all forms art became what I live for in my private life.

I love sculpting. I worked mostly with clay and wood but I never got around to working with stone or plastics. Since 2003 I have been deeply involved in bone carving. Bone is a very interesting medium to work with and the results are very decorative.

I am also a Gunpla maker. I love Gundam Model Kits While in the US I built well over 40 Gundam model kits as well as other Bandai products.

I am very interested in photography but I never got around to learning this wonderful medium properly. So I made it a point to be on the look out for any opportunity to take courses.

My drawings are not exactly for the faint of heart. I love body manipulation. So my fantasy drawings are heavily tattooed and pierced. I find tattooes and piercings to be very spiritual I believe that the human body is a gift and decorating it is a sacred act.

I hope visitors will enjoy my gallery.
