Artwork

Besides music and writing, I'm also interested in abstract charcoal drawing and objet d'art, i.e. pieces of objects, locations, even toys of artistic nature (meaning the objects that tell something when observed).

Let me demonstrate here some of the items that I acquired or created.

I've found this paper-folded tulip on my table in a coffee shop in Istanbul and loved it immediately. I don't know its story, but this is actually what makes the stories that this tulip tells practically limitless.

This drinking fisherman is from a fishing town at the Aegean side of Turkey. It was a gift from my good friend Kemal Akkoyun, who bought this from an artist creating such forms out of sticks, twigs, stones, and wires.

What was started as a reminder for me to repair the ceiling turned into a beautiful landscape form (out of K'Nex) reminding that there is a lot more outside these walls.

This tells me that the art is to see beyond what everybody else sees. Although I occasionally see an object or form much more than it looks like, I often don't see beyond and look at it like everybody else does. Therefore, this reminds me that I'm not an artist (not yet anyway).

This is a gift from my good friend Görkem Tanca. He has an industrial workshop, where he creates beautiful objects out of thin wood by laser cutting and laser burning. I don't know why, but I always loved the spade shape. On top of this, it's on wood!

This is another gift from Görkem Tanca. Laser cut out of thin wood. Beautiful.

I'm not particularly good on drawing landscapes or even basic shapes. What you see here is only math, no feeling, no story, no nothing. Hence the name, insensate.

Well, this is... I don't really know what this is. I just drew some lines and went on with what I feel. I don't know if it's finished or not, and I certainly don't understand it. It's plain subconsciousness I suppose. One thing I can suggest that you download this image and zoom in and out and rotate it. Each side and perspective has its own stories to tell.
