As I am an expatriate, moving from country to country every couple of years, each place inspires my work and I change the material for my mosaics according to what is available locally. I started with making mosaics in Roman style using natural stone in Turkey. Then I moved to Brazil where the vivid colors of their glazed ceramic tiles inspired and became the prevailing material of my mosaics. In China, the cheapest glass tiles, produced here for the bathrooms of the world, attracting through their endless colors and effects, were my choice of material for my projects.
USA and Germany, where I reside at the moment seem to let me mix the materials I got to know so far ….
