My initial recollection of any artistic aspirations was my attempt at three
>years of age to decorate the wooden staircase in our home by painting fish on
>each step. My parents had the audacity to attempt to remove my youthful
>artwork, but by using a kid's weapons of crying and tears, I quickly drew a line
>beyond which they knew they could not go. Quickly retreating from the fray, they
>demonstrated their pride in my precocious splashings of paint by placing
>plastic wrap over each of my fishes, thereby preserving them for what seemed to me
>at the time to be posterity.
>
>The reverence shown for my talent by my parents instilled in me an
>inspiration for artistry that has stayed with me since that time. That inspiration
>would surface again in the future.
>
>Notwithstanding that my gaily colored fishes clashed with our classic English
>furniture, the conflict in styles became secondary to the encouragement given
>to me by my parents.
>
>As I grew older, traditional considerations prevailed, and I studied hard,
>finally achieving my university diploma and medical degree. Having satisfied my
>familial obligation, I began to understand that being an artist is real work,
>requiring further education and a honing of my skills. That in mind, I
>enrolled at the London College of Fashion Design, where I spent two years before
>receiving my diploma in fashion design.
>
>In between stints as a fashion designer, I traveled to the four corners of
>the earth, and each place I visited added to my desire for unique artistic
>_expression. Wherever I went, I found new influences directing my brush strokes or
>guiding my hands as I worked at my paintings or sculptures.
>
>As I entered my thirties, I was drawn more and more toward a new life focus,
>pulling at me from every direction. In the same way that my medical
>background was useful in making me familiar with human anatomy, so my work as a fashion
>designer inspired the use of different materials and ornaments instead merely
>of paint.
>
>In addition, living in Istanbul on the line dividing East from West, Europe
>from Asia, has given me a unique perspective that is reflected, I believe, in
>my artistry. I leave it to those who view my paintings to determine for
>themselves the extent to which my work has become post-impressionistic and to which
>I have pioneered in nouveau art forms.
