Art Style She uses acrylic paint in most of her works. But sometimes it also includes other media such as ink, markers and mixing oil pastels together in one canvas. Her works are not limited only to the canvas medium, but also use various media that can be found around her or create a new medium. Some examples of mediums that she has used besides canvas are paper, MDF boards, recycled paper which she made by herself using used cardboard and sometimes she also paints on T-shirts. As a humanist, she poured her anxiety in most of her paintings. She believes that equality is not limited for human beings, but also for all living beings. Humans, animals, plants, all equal in her eyes. Unfortunately, humans sometimes elevate themselves and look down on other living creatures. Behaving around and trampling on other living creatures feels that they are God's most perfect creation. But the reality is very far as we think. She will continue to paint and will not stop until many people are intrigued and aware of the anxiety that has long been buried alone. So, when she's asked about the inspirations she gets, she will answer it briefly, "This is only mental unrest which I cannot speak verbally." |
