After my over 40 years of art career these are my latest acrylic paintings I'm working on.
Main concept here is displaying the conflict between AI & nature. I would love to show the reflection of science on my art work. I believe science and art influence and feed each other.

These are the work I've done by computer. But some are drawn by hand on the paper and colored dıgıtally, some are totally done by computer. Caveman drawings are from my well known comic strip character called "CAVEMAN". I've started my career as a comic book artist and illustrator but nowadays I'm working on acrylic paintings on canvas as you can see them in my other gallery.
