she vocational and technical education faculty in she graduated from the department of applied art teacher.

She taught painting & graphic design in various schools in İstanbul.

She retired in 2006. She has been going on her art works in İstanbul in workshops called Emos & Artwork -Art House in Istanbul . She has been searching and studying on ‘’Basic Design’’ as a textbook which is on the

ABAUT OF ART CREATİVE

The artist always pursues the adventures of her own enthusiasm and colours. It is sometimes childish ,sometimes reality of her dreams and sometimes behind the fantastic dreams of natural life.She refers to the reality

and the realities beyond reality in her paintings. She sometimes uses lyrical poetic language in her works.She sometimes tries to oblige audience to chaos and their dream world with her rich imagination. Her works are

a combination of metaphysics and philosopy of modern romance.TOKMAKKAYA names this style ‘’metaphysical romance’’ as fantastic processes.

The artist addresses the audience who understand her artistic intentions and will give place their fantasy and imagination to the freelance,colours and texture graphics.In her works she uses colours vigorously.In the

press she is known as ‘’THE QUEEN OF COLOURS.’’

Textures,bubbles,spiral compositions and cosmic background in her paintings are remarkable.She is performing all her challeng ing dreams and ideas by creating subject in the subject in her inner depths.

Vibrations driving to the unknown and secret journey and background which consists of colourful tones have been expessed by forcing the imagination. A smooth transition in colours has been provided as if it is

provoking the naturalness of the universe. Expressions and themes with light games and bright and shiny graphical vibrations that texture graphics are seeesawing are shown. Dancing figures with passionate love are

playing a game with the imagination based on the legends in a changing world.In this game an evelasting historical struggle and achievement are transfoming. In her figures dramatized traces of feminine freedom

longing can be seen.

The artist usually works on ‘’nature and woman’’ in her paintings. In addition to these animal figures and especially the themes of fish have drawn attention recently.

You can see evil eye beads and the images of beady-eyed fish in her compositions.

Best wishes
