So why am I telling you about my vacation on this site? Well, the purpose of my vacation was ART, it was solely based around art. A few months ago, when work started to get a little busy, I thought to myself, “I want to spend 3 days in the Louvre…” so I decided to do it! I would spend 3 days in the Louvre, and whatever happened after that was a bonus. Read More...

I guess when I started this project, the goal was to fill some space on a wall. A friend of mine had commission me for a painting, and his direction was he wanted a painting for his office done in my (Koray’s) style…to quote him loosely. There was not much more direction beyond that. Ahhhh, the pet peeve of many a painter.

Few things have remained constant in my life in the last little while; however, art is the one constants that will always be present in my life. Read More...

Can you recall who or what encouraged you to do the thing you love most in life? Can you remember who supported you and acted as your cheerleader as you continued to develop and grow? Read More...

“A photograph could never capture the true essence of a painting…” my entire undergrad, and the above picture, could attest to this statement… Read More...

As you go through my paintings, I bet you are noticing a bit of a pattern in the characters….well, there is. Read More...

I have to admit…striking that V on the canvas filled me with emotion. Before the first strike, my heart began to pound…after the second strike, it got stronger. Never having experienced it before, I let the feeling linger… Read More...

The right colors give me butterflies in my chest and throat, what does it do for you?

I guess like Picasso had his blue period, I’m having my bunny rabbit period? Probably not comparable, as it’s only my second painting with a bunny rabbit in it…although it is my first painting without a heart, in a long time... Read More...

Ever have one of those days where you say you're going to sit down and do something for a few hours….then 10 hours later you think…“what happened to my Saturday night?!?” Read More...

So here we go...into the way I see the world....

For a while now, I’ve wanted to show family and friends what I’ve been drawing, painting, photographing and most recently, what video I’ve been working on; however, there have been many roadblocks.

To take a step back, my whole life I have wanted to get in touch with my artistic side, but I have been too busy with school. When school was out, work and sports took up my time, and when I wasn’t doing that, I found something else to do. Basically finding excuses to avoid working on artistic things…due to a fear of failing. Exactly, the fear of failure kept me from doing what I wanted to do. It wasn’t until I learned one of life’s most important lessons that I started pushing forward; our greatest learning comes from our errors! So, here I am learning and moving forward.

The outcome? A few years ago I decided enough was enough, and it was time to get in touch with my artistic side...so I did. I began to work on drawing, a year ago I began painting (with a good swift kick in the butt from my mom), and a little over 6 months ago I started to get more into photography. What's the end result? A website that compiles samples of my work for the past couple of years.

SO! Please take a look at what’s posted, and provide me with your feedback. When you put yourself out there, you want to know what people have to say...

Thanks...
