I am an artist with a long-standing relationship with visual art that began in childhood. From an early age, I was drawn to drawing, form, and color, and as I grew older, experimentation became a central part of my practice. I continuously explored different ways of making images, driven by curiosity and a desire to discover new visual possibilities. During my university years, after studying programming, I encountered coding as a creative medium. This moment expanded my artistic practice, allowing me to approach image-making through structure, logic, and process. Since then, I have been developing artworks using code as a tool for composition, while maintaining a strong foundation in visual balance, rhythm, and color. Rather than relying on predefined software effects, my works are created by designing custom visual systems — sets of rules and parameters that guide form, color, and composition. This method allows each piece to unfold gradually, balancing intention with controlled variation. Color plays a central role in my work, not only as an aesthetic choice but as a way to shape depth, movement, and emotional tone. Over the years, my practice has continued to evolve, leading to the release of multiple coding-based art collections. In 2021, several of these collections sold out across major platforms, marking an important milestone in my ongoing artistic journey. My work is rooted in sustained exploration — a commitment to developing ideas over time and transforming simple concepts into expressive visual forms through thoughtful systems and experimentation.
