BIOGRAPHY

After studying for two years in the Painting Department of Beykent University, I graduated from Istanbul University's Department of Conservation and Restoration of Movable Cultural Heritage in 2013.

Subsequently, I worked in archaeological excavations located in various regions of Turkey. Due to my interest in miniature art, I began receiving training in this field starting from 2015. During this period, I had the opportunity to participate in many group exhibitions and projects.

In 2019, with the aim of learning and understanding miniature art both practically and theoretically, I started my master's thesis on “Contemporary Miniature Art” in the Art History Department of Medeniyet University.

In 2020, I undertook the editorship of the book “Miniatures in My Dreams” by miniature artist Taner Alakuş. In 2021, my article “The Use of Texture in Miniature Art” was published.

Since 2018, I have been working as an assistant at Taner Alakuş Miniature Workshop and organizing exhibitions and projects within the workshop.
