Artist Statement:
Human beings exist between the
contradictory contexts of
expectations and
self-fulfillment. This is
especially true for women, who
in their daily existence, more
or less have their roles as
men do, despite the social
contradictions, yet, there is
a question; what is the
woman’s position? What are her
means of stabilizing
self-conception as a female?
Considering women’s nature
being different to manhood, do
women really have to suppress
and deny all their specific
facets, of being female, to
exist (e.g. to keep her
career)!?
My questions are not set to
deliver answers. Rather to
help viewers to observe,
listen, feel, get the sense of
it, search and think that
they, too may find the
answers!
Through my artwork, the
original theme is reflected
and carried forward. Mainly,
my subject is influenced and
inspired by social
developments, artists such as
Frida Kahlo or Maria Lassnig,
and public figures, who are
active politically and
socially. Also, my subject
matter is influenced by
personal environment such as
family, friends and business
contacts. The intention is not
to receive answers but to
perceive, pay attention to and
feel states and processes of
changes mostly, referring to
those unique individuals.
