Flow
Calligraphy meets Photography
Flow is an important concept in many different fields of art. It is the road our eyes follow while gazing upon a piece of art – we follow the flow often without realising its existence nor are we...

I am a writer and artist from Turkey. Although I live far away from there now, culture of Turkey, and Middle East in general, influences my works a lot. Yet I am influenced by many other cultures and artistic works, from Celtic knots to American poetry.
I am not a traditionalist - I am opposed to clear cut definitions, styles and perspectives on art. I believe calligraphy is an unfortunate art in this respect; it is oppressed by those who want to limit it with strict and definite boundaries, which I reject for the sake of creativity that is the mother of all arts. I always try to touch to deeper meanings and concepts with my works, I always try to come up with something different; I am not afraid of diversity and difference in arts, I welcome it.

"Sır" (the word "secret" in modern Turkish) blends into a photograph of a rose in a simple yet deep manner. Latin calligraphy is in no way different than classic "khatt" on this aspect.
