Watercolor on 300 gr paper
Size: 24 × 32 cm
A depiction of fertility and the process of blossoming in nature; from buds and flowers to the fully ripened star fruit. Within each fruit, symbols of Alanya take shape, as if each one reflects this land. Meanwhile, a migratory bird and a native bird feed side by side, portraying a moment of coexistence. Both gaze upon the world with a calm and gentle look, and in their eyes, a flower shines—the artist’s signature—reflecting the tenderness and love flowing through nature.

“BIRD GUARDIAN Goddess ” painted with watercolor on 600 gr watercolor Paper
“Bird Guardian Goddess” is the name I gave to this painting.
At the heart of the piece, a serene goddess sits upon the body of a majestic Kingfisher, surrounded by three loyal, messenger birds who speak to her in silent song.
The lotus symbols on her forehead, her body, and even her earrings, echo the sacred wisdom of ancient Mithraic traditions.
The blossoms that flow across her form are not static—they are alive, in motion—because she is the keeper of life itself.
Two tiny white birds nestled on her garment further symbolize her divine role.
The spiral motif that recurs throughout the painting marks spaces of energy flow, awakening, and portals into the spiritual realm.
Tiny fish, emblems of life, swim energetically along the Kingfisher’s back. At the painting’s center, a rotating cycle of fish spins inside a flower—symbolizing the endless wheel of life.
Miniature birds take flight among flower, dwelling in peaceful harmony with existence.
The inspiration for this piece came from a photo of two vividly colored Kingfishers in nature. At first, I envisioned only the seated goddess and a few birds around her. But as I painted, images emerged on their own.
From the feathers of the Kingfisher, shapes of swimming fish began to appear—asking to be seen, to be included. I deepened their presence in bright yellow.
Even the miniature figures in the flowers seemed to paint themselves—as if the spirit of the painting was guiding my hand. I was merely the vessel.
