Art

Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.

Painting

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (support base). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.

Design

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns).Design has different connotations in different fields. In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to use design thinking.

Graphics

Graphics are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. In contemporary usage it includes: pictorial representation of data, as in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational software.

BLENDED MYSTICISM AND SYMBOLISM

The Infinite Universe is keeping the balance of life with a perfect cycle. The whole life formed out of the little moments seems so small within the immense universe! On one side the life that gathers yesterday, today and tomorrow in a whole. On the other side is the individual who searches the meaning and secret of life between to be or not to be.We are trying to fulfill our lives by venturing into in art and other mystical realms. When we get lost in life; we will reach the balance by taking a deep breath and noticing the mysteries, sucking up their secrets.

When I am doing my paintings, I always see the image as a universal language and use symbolism and mysticism as the foundation. I tried to depict human existence in the miracle of life. These feelings, which turned into small details in my works, now leave the canvases where they were trapped and roam freely in the universe. I wish these small details bring you to the whole when you see them.
