Artist Statement
The aim of artist by presenting her first series ceramic works is impresssing the people by visual and optical illusions. She wanted to create and design ceramic forms have naturel lines but impossible and not existing decorations in real. Thats why she wanted to make unique forms and use visual elements like color, texture, lines, dots, light etc. Now, her aim is seeing illusions through different designs on ceramic material. Her works from last series, reflecs the sensitivity of her and create the awareness about nature, environment and activism by the way of optical she described. She thinks that she can not stay far away from optical designs whatever she does. She uses bright colors with pigments on her recent works. Last, coloured works of her can be seen as figurative ceramic sculptures who try to take peoples attentions with their colors and decorations. These coloured figures whisper something to people to warn them about environmental problems. Some of her abstract figurative works are couple, like man/woman or human/animal. She wants to express her idea about completing eacher other like in nature. She plans to work with different clays and add aggragates to clays on her next works. She has plans and sketches for a new serie with different and aggragates clays.
