This original painting is inspired by the three months I spent schlepping around Turkey in my early 20's. While in Istanbul, I saw a random tile on city wall that inspired the pattern in the sky. The landscape is set in the surreal Cappadocia, a historical region in Central Anatolia, Turkey. A location that I took two ~10-hour bus rides to experience first-hand, and it did not disappoint. I enjoy the surreal effects of combining my love for landscapes with my lifelong interest in patterns.

STATEMENT
The landscape paintings were born from my lengthy travels, with patterns inspired by the tapestries of the cultures inhabiting the landscapes depicted. Studying the weavings and rugs I reference continually teaches me about the many layers of symbolism behind the shapes, colors, and repetition in patterns. The gradients, oil pastel drawings come entirely from within, capturing fleeting moments and are entirely emotion-based. With them, I seek to aesthetically soothe the anxiety we can all experience, and provide a moment of calm to rest ones eyes. The portraits of my friends, and fellow artists Samah and Aya are an ongoing series dedicated to celebrating various people in my life and their cultural backgrounds. I'm happy to accept portrait commissions, reach out for further info.
