He mainly uses various techniques such as acrylic paint, mixed media, and pastels. He uses accidental shapes and colors, moving back and forth between the conscious and unconscious, such as the natural flow of water and lines that form after the paint is dissolved thinly and poured onto the canvas, and the marks created by rubbing the canvas. By overlaying different images on top of each other while dividing the canvas, the artist shares various viewpoints and tries to create new expressions from them. Inspired by ordinary sights, objects, sounds, scents, memories, and atmospheres, he creates an original style by passing them through his own filter.
