Whilst forming her artistic practices around the transformation and motion of the matter in space and its interaction made with hypothetical void, she brings some extraordinary dimensions and oscillations through juxtapositions and superpositons. What is solid evaporates, liquid freezes, air solidifies, what is behind appears in the front and the atoms the reality is made of are torn apart. The unfathomable phenomenons of the universe cause a sense of alienation by intruding the life of the individual.

While taking inspiration from science-fiction, iconology, mythic and personal narratives, she utilizes the paint as it can easily represent other textures and also itself as paint, in order to create collage – like paintings.

In these colorist portraits in the Luminous Portraits series, the forms are moulded not by tone contrast but by color contrast. While referring sunlight on human skin images in the art history she also focuses the spiritual interraction between the light and the entities.
