Since I can remember, I have interpreted the world with poetry and this poetic spirit has caused my continuous movement in the field of art. This spirit is what drives me to share my world with my audience. For me, words and images are the means for this interaction. In my view, everyone has responsibilities in the journey of life. Our abilities and interests make us realize our own responsibilities. Art and literature have had a significant and undeniable impact on the movement of the world towards beauty and awareness. I consider myself a traveller on this path, and I have always hoped and tried to be an influential traveller.
