As his experience tells, the energy he has poured in his works was enthusiastic one and become his main energy for is 20 years long works continued under the image of deep sea that was his conversational topics at all times. This image started from the inspiration he got in the middle of 1970s when much of the deep sea remains were found in the water near Sinan. His works begun from the deep sea paintings have invited our sights into fantastic world as if we can touch the unknown substances therefrom. These paintings functioned as if it gives warm soothing feeling to those who have been fed up by the city life and wish to back to the rural area. His pains, love, passion and the future are soaked in the paintings.
