I was born in 1957 in Ankara. After finishing the high school, I studied and graduated from French Language and Literature. After working a short period of time as a teacher, in 1983, I changed my direction to tourism and commerce.After retirement, I started to get involved with ceramic arts, which is just when I found the pottery had become “corrupt” in my words; plates made of plaster painted with synthetic dyes everywhere… I decided to perform the art of “Cini” as it should be and started. While mastering my drawing and painting technique, I also excelled in drawing original Hittite figures on the plates.All my products are ' FREE HAND ' works. Since the Hittite figures are geometrical figures, I prefer pen filled with purified and thinned “cini” dye, instead of brush, to draw the figures. Since I only use Hittite figures, I chose the name of the shop Hattusa, which is the capital of Hittites.
