Istanbul

My time spent in the vibrant and diverse city of Istanbul has been the longest to date, spanning from 2003 to 2017. It's where I created the majority of my material and artworks.

Much of my creative work was done on the side while I held full-time positions at VFX and film companies, as well as ad agencies.

In 2015, my first child was born, marking a significant milestone in my life. Around the same time, I made the decision to step away from my role as an art director at a full-time job, and become full time artist. This was a pivotal moment for us, signaling our transition to a more natural and less crowded environment.

Alaçatı

Alaçatı was a chapter of renewal and creative reawakening. The Aegean light, the stone houses, the slow pace — it was here I began to find new forms of expression after the intensity of Istanbul.

The laid-back environment allowed me to go deeper into the esoteric foundations of my work, and to experiment with lighter, more luminous palettes in the geometry I was developing.

Alanya

Alanya was a transformative 2.5-year journey for us, a period where we reconnected with family on the Mediterranean coast. It was here that we consciously conceived and experienced a freebirth with our second child.

Although Alanya was not initially ideal for us, it provided comfort during a crucial time in our lives. It was during our time in Alanya that I truly began to embrace and assert my sovereignty, separating the essential from the extraneous and questioning much of the programming in my life.

Alanya became a fertile ground for creativity, where I produced some of my most widespread and influential pieces. I also delved even deeper into the realms of Universal Transmissions, expanding my artistic and spiritual horizons.

Fethiye

Fethiye has become our home, and we've been here for over 4 years. It feels like lifetimes have unfolded within these years. It's where I experienced profound Samadhi experiences and where our family faced significant challenges that nearly tore us apart. It was during this time that I began to detach from my ego identity as a visionary artist.

In Fethiye, I created many seminal artworks, including the birth of the Vitruvian spirit and the completion of the Universal Transmissions Codex. I also designed all my clothing and patterns during this period. In just 4 years, an abundance of value and original content was created here.

Yet, all of this pales in comparison to the imminent arrival of our daughter, who will be born in Fethiye. This place holds a sacred and consecrated significance for us — a truly special land where our lives have been profoundly shaped and enriched.
