The title of this work comes from the childhood myth that we've probably all heard - of how you can hear the sea if you hold a seashell up to your ear and listen carefully. I spend a month or two each summer by the beach in Erdemli, Turkey, where I go for long beach walks and pick up things like shells that fnd their way into my paintings. Although objects like the shells and some foreground stones were painted from life, the painting also contains a lot of abstract areas. I started it by pouring inks onto a flat canvas on a table, creating an abstract composition that reminded me of sea foam. I then used white acrylic paint to isolate areas and paint over others in order to create a coherent design. Then I started adding the more realistic details. The work is painted on the sides as well as the front, and varnished for protection. It is shipped in a tube. I hope it reminds you of days spent by the sea.

Turkey
I am an artist and writer with paintings in private and corporate collections in Turkey, the UK, the United States, Canada and Australia. I live in Adana, Turkey. I am a member of both local and national jury-selected artists' associations and often participate in Turkish-government sponsored exhibitions in other countries. I paint in both figurative and abstract styles, but most recently my interest has been in capturing the kind of details in nature that you would usually pass by without a second glance: things like weathered rocks, broken branches and dying leaves. The idea behind this 'Vanitas' series is perhaps that the value and beauty of the ordinary things in nature lies in their impermanence. Many of my works are built up of multiple layers over a long period of time − using a variety of techniques and tools. Layers of paint are poured, glazed, scratched, and rubbed away until the desired effect is achieved. Each exhibition I take part in brings me into contact with many artists and art lovers, whose feedback and reactions to my work I find invaluable. I continue to develop new techniques and explore new approaches in order to develop my personal response to the world around me.
