Any guess?

I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep

The line "I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep" is from the famous song "New York, New York," which was first sung by Liza Minelli in the movie "New York, New York".

New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.The city is referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. Here are some interesting facts about the New York:

1. New York City has 4,000 street food vendors.
2. The average temperature of New York City’s pavement on a hot summer day is 150 degrees.
3. 100 million Chinese food cartons are used annually in New York City.
4. Gennaro Lombardi opened the first US pizzeria in NYC in 1895.
5. Manhattan’s Chinatown is the largest Chinese enclave in the Western Hemisphere.
6. New York City was was briefly the US capital from 1789 to 1790 and was the site of the inauguration of George Washington as President on April 30, 1789.
7. The state fruit is the apple.
8. New Yorkers travel an average of 40 minutes to work each day.
9. More than 47 percent of New York City’s residents over the age of 5 speak a language other than English at home.
10. The Federal Reserve Bank on New York’s Wall Street contains vaults that are located 80 feet beneath the bank and hold about 25 percent of the world’s gold bullion.

This painting of New York is part of my 3 pieces set that I made recently (London, Paris, New York). It is acrylic on canvas 40x40.

Stay tuned for moreee :) xoxo

Tribute to my dad

These are just very few paintings of my father from his rich repertory. Now they are memories of his unique way of expressing his love toward art. He was my first teacher of everything, not just painting, my best friend and best critic. I still remember when I was kid how he allowed me to make a few strokes with brush on his canvas. It meant a world to me. Thank you dad for everything you've taught me and for what I am today. Love you forever...

Done done, London!

London is made up of two ancient cities which are now joined together. They are:

• the City of London, known simply as "the City" which is the business and financial heart of the United Kingdom. It is also known as the Square Mile (2.59 sq km/1 sq mi). It was the original Roman settlement (ancient Londinium), making it the oldest part of London and already 1000 years old when the Tower of London was built.
• the City of Westminster, where Parliament and most of the government offices are located. Also Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the Queen and the Royal family are located there too.

Together they all make up a region known as Greater London.

Facts about London:

• London is the biggest city in Britain and in Europe
• London occupies over 620 square miles
• About 12% of Britains overall population live in London
• London has the highest population density in Britain, with 4,699 people per square kilometre
• London is the seat of central government in Britain
• The tallest building in London is the Canary Whart Tower
• London is the first city in the world to have an underground railway, known as the "Tube"
• Some of the most important people from countries all over the world visit the Queen at Buckingham Palace
• There are over 100 theatres in London, including 50 in the West End. London theatres accounts for 45% of all UK theatre admissions and over 70% of box-office revenues.

The clock is real :) tik tok!

Making of...

This is how art is being created! Most of the paintings doesnt look like ANYTHING in the beginning. Even I know all that, still sometimes I find myself being worried about the final look :)

Take a look....

Sketch me, baby :)

Howdy ya’ll! Here I bring you another sketch, made recently.  
His name is Ferman Akgül and he is a Turkish songwriter and the singer of the rock band maNga. He writes both lyrics and music. He is super popular and super cute person, very talented and dedicated. Few years back I had a chance to go to the concert of maNga and still I remember it as a best day (night) of my life :)Alrightie, that’s all for this post. Be sure to come back again, I'll keep posting on a regular basis :)

Something new!

These days I'm having a creativity attack and trying to focus that creativity on my paintings. Here I bring you the sketch of my b-e-a-utiful makeup and fashion guru all the way from India - Jovita! :) I'm so happy to find her 'cause she is one of the most entertaining, talented, intelligent, unique and amazing people I've ever seen in my life. What I've realized after watching her videos on youtube and getting to know her better is that we have some common interests: love for art (in this case paintings), obsession with cats (she has soooo damn cute siberian cat that I just wanna wanna wanna!), Bollywood movies and last but not least - makeup.

It took me around 2 and a half hours to make this sketch but in the end I'm happy with the final result and what I've figured out is that Jovita has so aaahhh-mazing face with perfect proportions. Donno do you guys find it good or not, but I did it with lots of love, as I never do anything if I dont give 100% of myself. 

PS. Do check Jovita's channel on youtube, I'm sure you wont regret. If you are more interested in her work, here are the links of her blog, instagram and facebook page too.
