Doğum: Londra, 1987


After obtaining a Certificate of Higher Education in Computer and Video Games from Southampton Solent University in 2009, the artist pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Illustration at Ringling College of Art and Design in 2013. This was followed by a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Painting at the New York Academy of Art in 2015.
 
Following participation in numerous group exhibitions abroad, the artist showcased works in prominent exhibitions such as Take Home a Nude (Sotheby’s, 2015), Mamut Art Project (2017), and Closed Doors (Müze Evliyagil, 2019).
In 2018, the artist held their first solo exhibition titled “A House on a Hill.” Their work brings together fragments of nameless and ambiguous narratives within a series. Inspired by the idea of creating silent paintings, the artist draws on key themes such as mystery, eeriness, loss, longing, surrender, disappearance, and warmth to guide their compositions along a dark and introspective path.
 
The artist’s oil paintings, which seek meaning in tranquility, are accompanied by drawings rendered in gouache and ink. The artist continues to produce work in Istanbul.
