HÝ' TO ARTÝST FRÝENDS....
JURÝNG THE STUDYÝNG HARROGATE ART AND DESÝGN COLLEGE –FOUNDATÝON COURSE ÝN ENGLAND 1978 I WAS NOT AWARE OF GOÝNG TO FELL ÝN LOVE WÝTH PAÝNTÝNG AND CAPTURE WHOLE MY LÝFE… BUT WÝTH A COÝNSÝDENSE SÝNCE 1986 I STARTED AND I HAVE ADOPTED AND APPLÝED MY PATÝENCE AND I TRÝED TO STUDY,LEARN RESEARCH TECHNÝQUES OF PAÝNTÝNG. BESÝDES BEÝNG ÝN BUSÝNESS LÝFE UNTÝL 2004,I CARÝED ON PAÝNTÝNG AS MUCH AS I CAN… I DETERMÝNED AND DEDÝCATED MY LÝFE TO PAÝNTÝNG … ÝN FACT PAÝNTÝNG HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LÝFE SÝNCE I WAS VERY YOUNG,ÝN PRÝMARY SCHOOL AND OPENNÝNG AN EXÝBÝTÝON WÝTH ALL CLASSMATES…
UNTÝL NOW I OPENNED TWO EXÝBÝTÝONS...
I WONDERED MANY YEARS AGO HOW OLD MASTERS MADE THEIR PAINTINGS, WHICH PAINTING TECHNIQUES THEY USED, WHAT SORT OF MATERIALS THEY USED, THE BEST TECHNIQUE OF USING PAINT AND MEDIUMS. I DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE.
WITH THESE QUESTIONS IN MIND SINCE 1991 I HAVE BEEN WRITING A BOOK CALLED “THE TECHNICAL SECRETS OF PAINTING” AMONG THE CONCEPTS IN IT IS HOW TO PAINT USING PAINTING TECHNOLOGY AND A PAINTING DICTIONARY IN 5 LANGUAGES.

THERE ARE SOME BOOKS BUT THEY ARE NOT COMPLETE GIVING INSUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE USAGE OF MATERIALS IN THE RIGHT WAY.

I RESEARCHING ALL THE TIME- FOR MY BOOK ABOUT OIL PAINTING TECHNIQUES. TECHNIQUES SUCH AS THE GOLDEN RATIO AND HOW TO APPLY THE GOLDEN RATIO IN A PAINTING. LEONARDO DA VÝNCÝ’S SFUMATO TECHNÝQUE USED ESPECIALLY IN THE PORTRAIT OF THE MONA LISA AS WELL AS THE “VENICE CALCULATION.”

ONE OF MY ANOTHER INVESTIGATIONS IS ABOUT FRENCH ARTIST, JEAN LEON GEROME WHERE I COULD NOT FOUND ANY RECORD OF ABOUT HIS PAINTING TECHNIQUES AND WHAT HE USED FOR PAINTS, MEDIUMS, AND BRUSHES.

I HAVE WRITTEN TO MANY MUSEUMS, AUTHORITIES I AM IN CONTACT WITH AND I HAVE VISITED LOTS OF PAINTERS STUDIOS, MAKING CONTACTS WITH ARTISTS IN TURKEY AND ABROAD BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I COULD NOT FIND BENEFICIAL KNOWLEDGE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NOT A SPECIFIC BOOK ABOUT THE SUBJECTS, SHADOW AND REFLECTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO ÝZMÝR AS MY GUEST, IN MY HOME WHO EVER COMES FROM YOUR FAMÝLY OR ARTÝST FRÝEND ...
I WILL BE ALWAYS AT YOUR ORDER IN ÝZMÝR ,TURKEY.

ALSO IF THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN I DO FOR YOUR FOUNDATION IN ÝZMÝR,TURKEY. PLEASE, DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. I WILL BE GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THESE SUBJECTS.


MY FRIENDSHIP IS NOT UNTIL SUNDAY,ÝT ÝS UNTIL THE GRAVE.

BEST WISHES
