In 2016, he achieved a significant milestone with his inaugural solo exhibition in Japan. In 2019, he earned his master’s degree from Hacettepe University, focusing on Terra Sigillata glaze.

His “Emptiness” series is a profound exploration of complex emotional states within the human psyche, inviting viewers on an introspective journey. Ertürk’s art bridges craftsmanship and artistry, breathing new life into local culture with the inspiration of Ancient Greece through Terra Sigillata glaze. The unique language he has developed allows audiences to forge emotional connections with his creations.

The empty spaces within his forms symbolize the depths of the inner world, beckoning viewers to embark on their own emotional odysseys. Referencing ancient red-black Attic vases from Greece, this series produced for Mamut Limited utilizes a primitive firing method, rendering each form singular and irreplicable.
