Ilgi Adalan defines his own being with an artistic identity that is insistent and contains a strong belief in his art; forming his life upon this reality. For him, everything and especially "plastic materials" are elements that mediate creation and recreation. For Ilgi Adalan, art means deciphering ones own creative identity and reforming that identity by redefining it.
