Who Am I? I completed my undergraduate education at 19 Mayıs University in 2005 and my master's degree in 2009. AFIAP in 2015; I won the title of international artist given by the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP) to photographers who are accepted in international competitions with their artistic skills, technique and works. I have achieved nearly a hundred successes in international competitions held in different countries. I have also received various awards in many national competitions. After 2017, I worked as a photography instructor, editor on photography-related websites, a member of the selection committee in photography competitions, a curator in photography exhibitions and organizations, and technical consultancy for organizations that will organize photography competitions. Apart from my popular articles on art and academic articles in peer-reviewed journals, I published a printed book titled "Dance-Abstraction in Photography" approved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2020. I am actively editing the academic journal "Art and Human". Based on the motto that the artist's creative process is more valuable than the product exhibited in the gallery; I continue my personal art path by producing project-based works on minimalism, abstraction in photography and conceptual photography. I also work in digital illustration and sculpture art disciplines. As I take part in group and individual exhibitions with my works, I reach collectors as NFT and limited edition prints. For me, art is a bit of Plato's eidola of social benefit, and a little bit of Aristotle's opportunity to get closer to the truth and experience catharsis. Art is actually what Socrates defined as arete; It is the means of reaching happiness, which is the highest good for man, by turning to one's own essence.
