Artistic Approach

The artist’s works are designed to reflect the individual’s inner and outer complexity. They express not ordinary or meaningless glances, but the inner world of the individual who has become isolated and driven to despair amid social conflicts. The colors, lines, and textures on the canvas offer a powerful expression that conveys this deep emotional intensity. His works are a reflection of the effort to explore human complexity, the traces of social conflicts, and internal struggles.
