He played with words and syllables to title his works, and adapted cave paintings to paper. He also used mixtures of earth and natural organic elements to create his canvases and drawings. He exhibited widely in France and Turkey, with a retrospective devoted to him in Istambul, with others to follow until the Centre Pompidou retrospective.
