About Me
Born in Turkey, I followed my studies in the one of most beautiful art school in Istanbul - The Fine Arts Academy, by the shore of Bosphorus. Inspired everyday by the contrasts of a vast country; torn between Europe and Asia, a mixture of Byzantium and Ottoman architecture, fragrances of spices, screams of children and the murmurs of a metropolis... After my bachelor in graphic design, I came to Europe to work in design studios. In 1995, I started studying jewellery design. Since then I have enjoyed each moments of the learning and working process. The thrill of searching for new technics, forms, materials never fades.
