As an artist, happiness is at the core of my creative journey. I firmly believe that pursuing art is not just a career choice, but a way of life that brings immense joy and fulfillment to my soul. The ability to translate thoughts and emotions into tangible forms is a gift that constantly reminds me of the unique path I have chosen as an artist. This sense of purpose and fulfillment is something I wouldn’t trade for anything else. The challenges that come with being an artist, such as financial uncertainties or the need to continuously promote oneself, are outweighed by the personal growth, self-discovery, and the joy of creating something meaningful.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Welcome to my vibrant and captivating world, I am an artist whose creativity knows no boundaries. Hailing from Istanbul, Turkey, and now based in the United States since 2018, I have a unique artistic style that combines a love for bright and bold colors with a passion for exploring the different reflections of the world on my projects.
I received an art education in the culturally rich city of Istanbul. I love the masterful use of paint and illustration, and capture the essence and beauty of various locations, infusing each piece with a sense of adventure. I showcase and sell my artwork through my website and additionally, on my Etsy shop I offer a selection of my small business products, including stickers, greeting cards, and tote bags, among others.
One of my passions is crafting a life that revolves around both traveling the world and creating vibrant art. My artistic journey intertwines with adventures, resulting in colorful art pieces that reflect the essence of my travels. Through my YouTube channel, I share these journeys, giving viewers an immersive experience and offering insights into my creative process, my recent life updates and valuable tips and tricks about art and travel.
In addition to my personal creations, I also accept commissions. People reach out to me, sharing their own remarkable stories and requesting custom art pieces that encapsulate their unforgettable experiences. From capturing the beauty of honeymoons to cherished landscapes or even celebrating special moments in their homes.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is the ability to create something from nothing and inspire, and connect with others through my art. Moreover, the personal growth and self-discovery that come with being an artist are invaluable. It’s an ongoing journey and self-expression that allows me to evolve and develop as both an artist and a person. The freedom and flexibility that come with being an artist are also highly rewarding. I have the liberty to explore various mediums, experiment with different styles, and follow my artistic instincts. This level of creative freedom enables me to constantly push boundaries. The ability to express my authentic self without limitations is incredibly empowering.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
“Atomic Habits” by James Clear. In the book, Clear introduces the concept of atomic habits, emphasizing the idea that small changes can lead to remarkable results over time. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than solely fixating on goals. This shift in mindset has revolutionized my approach to managing my own habits.
One of the key lessons I learned from “Atomic Habits” is the significance of identifying and aligning daily habits with long-term goals. Clear highlights the compounding effect of consistent, small actions, illustrating how tiny improvements made every day can accumulate into remarkable achievements. This understanding has allowed me to reevaluate and refine my habits, ensuring they are in harmony with my overarching vision.
Overall, “Atomic Habits” has been a game-changer for me, instilling a mindset of continuous improvement and providing practical strategies for personal and professional growth. It has allowed me to embrace the power of small habits and recognize the immense impact they can have over time.
