Statement 

I am a visual artist and sculptor. I have started my professional career since 2010 and have been involved in various artistic fields including hand painting and painting, sculpture, environmental art and ceramic layouts. One of the most important issues I always want to deal with is the environment and the way humans interact with it. I always pay special attention to this subject in the works that I create in different media and I see man interacting with nature, not against it...
