Inan, who makes use of many different materials and techniques in his works, uses wood, duralite, paper or handmade special papers, etc., as well as canvas. He uses different techniques and materials on carriers such as oil paint, watercolor, tempera, colored ink and collage. His works can be found in museums of countries such as Germany, Norway, England, Belgium, Netherlands, Japan and in many private collections at home and abroad.
