Every people passing through this land left a part of their traditions and religion. This accumulation is the legacy of the world's art and culture. The main subjects of the works are peace, cooperation, orientalist women and man figures intertwined with nature. I don't have war scenes. There are similarities in the cultures of Turkish rings, but most importantly, friendship, brotherhood and cooperation stands out in our works. The Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, which will accommodate the art and culture of the Turkic world, is the first and only in the world. The Silk Road, which unites Asia and Europe, is now being rebuilt by the Near East University as a bridge connecting the Turkic States with art. I wish my exhibition will leave a mark in the museum..."
