Yes, miniatures works for a function. The miniature artists illustrated the important events of the periods they lived which generally happened to be in and around the palace, wars, ceremonies etc. in a story teller expression, explaining the text in the books. Those artists did not have a concern of producing a stand alone artwork. The artists who did not have a traditional way of painting like in the west, expressed themselves in this way. Even though there are repetitions in the miniatures, there is a strong assembly of composition, very rich colour outlook, expressive language, and life excitement expressions. You may catch some of the elements of the western painting if you look careful, however this type of painting is not three dimensional. Before renaissance there is similar miniature type of painting in the west also, which conforms a parallel life between the cultures, however as west develops after renaissance, east continues in a peculiar way with closed doors to west, in arts.

I believe that, to be able to make art in the universal platform, it is necessary to study your own cultural and esthetic experience by more systematic and more scientific methods. To get support from the traditional arts is already a method in the art world. Gaugin goes to Tahiti, Climt studies the Oriental miniatures. I started with the question "Is it possible that a new painting style, having personality emerges from this point?". Naturally I did not think of carrying the traditional, to today, instead I wanted to interpret within modern concerns. However, I liked the material used in the past, thus I remained with the material a little. I can mention about the concern of preserving the lost painting technics also.

I have a positive way of feeling and thinking. Yes, the miniatures bias me, however the main reason should be my personal attitude. They who know me claim that my paintings go in parallel with my personality.

Painting is an art requires observation power. First, I am effected from the environment. The rithmic repetition also effects me in form, like in the umbrella and boat forms. I want to give the softness and sensitivity. The people and a piece of nature remained among the city buildings are the elements generally I place in the compositions. Then there is a period I concentrate on the draft towards composition, some pictorial concerns are related at this phase. Then I move towards the end painting, however sometimes I do not consider the end product as a finished painting.

AO There are compositions consisting multifigures in miniatures. They made the figures related with the subject, however the composition is strong most of the cases. It is not easy to assemble so many tiny figures in a small area, which is a considerable success, as a major concern of painting. They did not have a formal painting education as in the west, however they were trained in the workshops. They have serious sense of size and ratio. They have strong observations over the nature expressions. They did not sign their names over the paintings. The superior of the workshop also acts ordinarily like other members.
