Рюкие Гарип, Турция

Творческие принципы:

I work on all painting techniques but prefers watercolor most, thinking that transparency and lights of watercolor reflect the beauty of nature better. There are reflections of my feelings which are soothing, causing smiling and overflowing from my inside, in my paintings.  I love to work realistic, and like making pictures of natural beauty destroyed by people rapidly.

Anything that effects me, can be theme of my paintings. Such as portrait, plants, flowers, natural assets... Reflections on water and water fascinate me. The stillness of stagnant water and energy of the wave.

I can not give up painting about unique texture of natural assets,  the details that makes them so special, calming effect of blue and green, the magic of color in the light of reflection.
