Living in Istanbul, I am surrounded by endless contrasts - ancient walls and modern towers, silence of mosques and noise of the streets, the calm Bosphorus and restless crowds. This city is full of stories, colors, and emotions that change with every light and every season.

Each painting in this series is a reflection of Istanbul’s many faces - its beauty, chaos, and soul. I try to capture not only what I see, but what I feel - the warmth of the sun on old stones, the rhythm of daily life, and the quiet moments that make this city unforgettable.
