"One of my main concerns in dealing with subjects such as roosters, goats and ruined houses is that I think people have turned their backs on nature and the creatures that exist in nature. The rooster is a symbol of awakening. The roosters in my paintings are symbols that give the message that people need to wake up from this sleep of inaction.

The stubborn aspect of the goat stands out in my paintings. In the face of the damage caused by humans to nature, nature stubbornly renews itself, embraces all living things, including humans, and ensures their survival. Here the goat symbolizes the nature that stubbornly renews itself.

The ruined houses that I sometimes use in the background of my paintings symbolize the destructiveness of humans, their recklessness and the fact that they can abandon everything without embracing their past.

In my paintings, the abstract treatment of the backgrounds and the placement of domestic structures in my paintings are actually a metaphorical expression of destruction and the fact that this destruction is caused by human hands. Wide spaces, on the other hand, not only express my spiritually serene nature, but also the beauty offered to me by the geography I live in. I observe the nature, make the necessary adjustments, and then go to the canvas with the composition I have created in my memory.''
