My belief ...

every success is inseparable from pain. Either you feel the pain before success, which drives and shapes you, or you experience it afterward, when you pay the price for reaching the summit. In either case, diamonds are not only formed under pressure, but through the pain that shapes them and brings out their brilliance.

My vita ...

born in 1975 as the child of Turkish guest workers, I was fortunate enough to carry the treasures of two cultures in my heart. 
For my parents, it was of great importance that we grew up with both Germany and Turkey as our home. 

Thus, we children grew up with the warmth and security of both countries, and we had the privilege of feeling at home in two worlds.

My family ...

doesn't just consist of my four wonderful children and two sisters. Rather, I have realized that family is not defined by blood ties alone, but rather by the people who accompany us through the ups and downs of life and who we can always count on. 
They are the soulmates who warm our hearts and enrich our lives.

My book ...

within each of us lie hidden talents, often undiscovered and unnoticed. What a blessing it is when special people come into our lives, believe in us, recognize our hidden abilities, and encourage us with loving impulses to unfold them. 

To these people, I am endlessly grateful, and I carry them in my heart forever.

My Art ...

Art and painting became my silent companions, helping me navigate the challenges of daily life while simultaneously creating a space for personal fulfillment and self-expression. 

Painting allowed me to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life with four children behind and immerse myself in a sphere that was entirely my own – a place of peace, inspiration, and boundless creativity.

My soul place ...

everyone has a soul place, and mine is in Italy! My roots lie in Turkey, but my love for Italian culture, language, and cuisine is deeply rooted in my heart. My short stay of almost a year in Tuscany left a lasting impression on me and became my second home.

My faith ...

and my spirituality have often carried me through the ups and downs of life. They give me the inner strength not to lose my footing in extreme situations. 
My inner voice has always guided me toward making the right decisions, and I strive to be a role model for my children by showing them how to listen to their hearts and stay true to their values.

Food ...

I have a  deep passion for cooking and savoring culinary delights. 

Every visit to a market, every street café, and every traditional restaurant becomes an adventure that awakens my senses and makes my heart race. Life is too short for crisp bread 8-)! Enjoy.

Dream ...

and set your own goals in life. Don’t live the life others have planned for you. Do crazy things! Don’t overthink! Don’t just exist—be truly alive! Be fearless, bold, and unafraid! Take your wings into your own hands and fly. And if you fall, rise again—stronger than before. There is nothing worse than never having tried!
Do it!

Learn ...

constantly discover new things. Challenge yourself anew. It’s never too late! No excuses— you may not become a Mozart, but at least you tried!
