Artist Statement
"Since I can remember, I have been fascinated by creating new things and exploring materials. I enjoy traditional crafts. That's why I love woodcuts and linocuts. In addition to my passion for woodcut and linocut, I also enjoy other different techniques such as etching, drypoint, and lithography.
Currently, I have expanded my printmaking practice to create one-of-a-kind textile, paper and glass arts in cyanotype. Cyanotype is where art and science meet. This old and magical process connects me with the past, the present, and the environment. The inspiration behind this process is the connection with the elements of nature: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. The result is a range of beautiful Prussian blue."
