Artistic View:
The starting point of her art is her inner self. She expresses herself by using ceramic as a medium She emphasizes natural mediums and formations in construction, texture and color. She observes the results of the prepared applications and directs them if necesarry. Seeks for the most concentrated expression with the least lineation and color. Her aim is to unite with and find a balance between herself and nature.
She has consentrated on two series in the last ten years. In White Serie she emphasizes social pressures and longing of freedom of the individual by abstracting the bird forms.
In Saggar Serie, she searches what can she get most from the nature in name of her art.
