Artist Statement
I am expressing my art world through printmaking. Among printmaking techniques, the mezzotint technique is my main method. My main theme is: transparency that shines in the darkness, being projected on glass and metallic objects. I try to express everyday life through expressing transparency as it allows delicate expression. I find the mezzotint technique perfect in expressing transparency as it allows delicate expression.
My work can go into the invisible world, seen through the reflected light in the dark.
It moves like clouds in the sky, finally becoming a cloud in the blue sky and leaving for a surreal space.
