At the age of 21, after a failed marriage embarked
upon at too young an age and from which he has twin daughters, the artist began
a long journey which lasted 14 years. During this time he visited 38 different
countries, some for the purpose of travel and others with the intention to
settle for an indefinite time. To compensate for the failure of his family
life, he left his life to chance; each new destination was chosen only by the
unexpected course of events. It was this raw exchange with life that created
the joy and emotional richness of his paintings. The destinations took him to
different continents, including countries of North and Central Africa; European
countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaycan, Kazakhstan; and Asian countries
such as India and China. His love of Chinese art compelled him to remain in
China for almost three years.
During his travels, he studied the painters, artists and musicians of the countries visited; he immersed himself in their culture, their music, their galleries and their museums. He simultaneously organised exhibitions in Brussels, Baku, Astana, Beijing, Xinjiang and Istanbul.
His work displays shades of contemporary art, new art and abstract art, which he combines with oriental notes inspired by Asian
and ottoman art. This electic nature of his inspiration creates a visual
enrichment which is reflected in his technical focus on the color and in the
cultural mix of his paintings.
His immense interest for Sufism pushed him to choose Istanbul as a permanent base with a view to enriching his cultural life. He hence established his studio on the European side of the city and is presently training in Iznik and Ottoman calligraphy art.
In parallel, guided by his boundless energy and his desire to share his passion for art with other poeple, he continues to exibit in Istanbul and other countries of Western Europe.
