Biography

I am a sculptor painter, I live in Istanbul. I was born in Istanbul. I graduated from Marmara University Fine Arts Faculty Sculpture Department. I completed my master's degree by writing a thesis on "Transforming the symbols of the Phrygian civilization of the Old Anatolian civilization into textile patterns". Ancient Anatolian civilizations have always fascinated me. Now I produce it by transferring it to my art. I carry the old artistic ornaments and patterns of Turkish culture to my art. I reflect the mystical religious figures and rituals of my geography to my art. 1 piece of my works is included in the collection of the Korean museum. I continue to participate in exhibitions abroad and in the country. I especially use the words of Konya Mevlana Rumi in my works. I carry the motifs and figures of ancient Anatolian civilizations to my drawings. Especially in my recent products named "KARATAY", I am going over the female figure in the Kubadabat palace tiles. I paint my designs with watercolor and gouache paints. 300 gr. I produce hand drawings digitally with high quality fine art printing on paper. I use large sizes of acrylic hand painted on canvas. I use red and white clay as ceramics in my sculptures. In some of my works, I use mixed media drawing and embossing on paper masche and fabric. My Instagram account @puttoo_ where you can follow me
