I used to stare out of my window at night, look at the other windows and think about people who were sleeping and theirs’ happiness and sadness. I was fascinated with people’s stories and mysteries they might have in their life hidden behind those windows. By finding out about their thoughts, fears and emotions, I was trying to seek an answer for the paradox’s of mentality and metamorphose of personality of human spirit.
I am also interested in the social paradoxes have been present in the lives of women all around the world, throughout history. I look at the psychology and emotional behaviour of humans and I feel that women need to look within and connect with their inner selves.
The common themes in my work are a dichotomy between the light and darkness featured in the golden lines on black forms. I believe that there is no such thing as absolute truth; the truth is not to be found or observed. Under the smiling skin of anyone there may be a wondering and disturbed soul.

Art, love, death
Truth, life, human
Who's gonna say their meaning!! Without any consequence
How it could be interpreted unless in their own
Art could be meant in art , love in love and death only after death
Art means life, love
Art means existence, taking breath for me!
Whiteness, blackness…
A bulk without any identifiable…
One god in the milky way galaxy
Mere whiteness has no difference with blackness of night
What's the difference between you and me…him !!!!
We are all pain, silent . . .
We are all pleasure, mute . . .
