ARTIST STATEMENT:  When I began exploring quantum, my first surprise was the idea of a vast internal universe inhabited by infinitely small physical entities. A quote attributed to Einstein ‘matter is frozen energy’ captured my imagination. As I looked deeper into wave-particle theory, I came to understand that energy lies inside all material. At a deep level, all matter is vibration—energy in motion. Then suddenly, a beautiful realisation opened a whole new world for me - a universe of invisible energy deep inside the material world. I wanted to paint that energy to make it visible through my art.  In the Quantum Series I imagine what this energetic world might look like if we could see it with the human eye. I use vibrant colours, structured waveforms, and my sgraffito technique to express its spaciousness and dynamic nature. Sgraffito allows me to peel back layers, to reveal what lies beneath the surface, symbolically as well as physically. These paintings reflect my experience of space, depth, and movement happening within us and all around us. They remind me of Rus bebeği (Russian Doll): a universe within a universe, continually unfolding into infinity. Everything is energy, inside us, inside the world, inside the cosmos. Art is my way of entering that space and sharing it with others.
