I am an interdisciplinary artist exploring nature's uniqueness, personal memories and historical heritage through projects that frame surrealism as a tool for tattoo art. My work takes on the task of forging my Turkish and Russian ancestry through the blending of opposite cultures to enhance the understanding of the concepts of contrast and harmony. My current work incorporates tattoo influences, architectural elements, aesthetics from vintage movies and antique everyday objects, and motifs of both the East and the West. I also hold a BSc in Architecture and a BSc in Landscape Architecture from Yeditepe University in Istanbul. Through the years of my education and professional life, I managed to learn and combine an extensive range of artistic tools that affect my style.
