Galata Tower was built in 1348 by Genoese poeple…It is located on one of the several hills in İstanbul which sees the Bosphorus sea, as well as almost all over İstanbul…
“Inca’s Treasure Map” was oil painted on a 30cm X 40cm pressed canvas…The whole pressed canvas was painted with several different colors in several different layers over and over…Then the final view was obtained by scratching the layers one by one, until I reached the deep of the ground where the “Inca’s Treasure” was burried…
Right by the Ocean, it’s me sitting and it is my naked self who decided to wait just by the peaceful shores of the sea…Couldn’t I leave at once? I don’t think so… Even though I had the chance to turn my back and run away like a little scared boy, I couldn’t…
