about my journey

In a world where expressing emotions often meets misunderstanding and judgment, paintings become the sole honest means of communication. From early childhood, emotions were suppressed, and natural reactions to pain and joy were seen as weaknesses. This led to layers of trauma and pain that veiled the true essence.

Only when standing on the brink of inner collapse did it become clear: to overcome this pain, one must not fight it but embrace it, showing oneself love and care. In this process, the canvas becomes a mirror of the soul, reflecting all the hidden layers and allowing them to be experienced again with tenderness and attention.

The world imposes its standards, forcing individuals to be "not too much of this" or "not too much of that." Many are familiar with the feeling of having to please others, staying in the shadows, and hiding their true selves. But when the burning desire to grow and evolve outweighs the fear of others' opinions, the journey to true self-expression begins.

This journey is a continuous practice, requiring discipline and a willingness to face discomfort. Each work is a step towards a better version of oneself, a version to be proud of. The decision to be oneself is a simple choice but far from easy. In each brushstroke lies sincerity; in each color, an acknowledgment of one's vulnerability.

Today, there is no longer fear in expressing feelings and thoughts. Life becomes truly one's own, filled with genuine moments of love, pain, and fear. Vulnerability carries the risk of undesired consequences and rejections, but it holds true beauty—in the willingness to accept these outcomes and find new strength in them.

Every human being desires to be seen, heard, and loved. True connection is possible only through genuine vulnerability. Let this journey be a source of inspiration, allowing each person to experience the depth of their existence through art.
