I've been working on my abstract paintings, entitled Meditations On A Mountain, for a couple of years now. My idea was similar to that of a jazz musician who picks the same tune every night and plays it differently. Likewise I wanted to explore the different styles and possibilities available to me based on the reversible outline of a mountain range. Separately, I disliked acrylics because the finished paintings looked as dull as dead fish, unlike the resonance oils gave a painting.

Blog'uma yeni başladım. Instagram'dan bağlantı kuracağım için ilkin İngilizce yazdım ama bundan sonra İngilizce/Türkçe yayınlıyacağım. Blog'da yapmış olduğum veya yapmakta olduğum resimler hakkında bilgi paylaşmayı amaçlıyorum, ancak kendi eserlerim yanısıra beğendiğim veya ilginç bulduğum resim veya ressamlar, heykeller ve heykeltraşlar hakkında da düşündüklerimi zaman zaman sizlerle paylaşacağım. Şimdilik hoşça kalın. I have just started my blog. As I intend to link from Instagram I have written the first one in English, but I intend to publish in English and Turkish from now on. I intend to discuss both finished paintings and Work In Progress (WIP), as well as works by other painters and sculptors that I find interesting or like, not to mention the artists themselves. That's it for now; keep well. .
