Ancient Fear (2020) Drawing by Beren Özyurt

Hi! My name is Beren Özyurt. I was born on 23 February 2004 in Istanbul. I'm a 16-year-old young painter and I'm trying to save money for college and for my dreams by selling my paintings. I have been interested in art from an early age. I started playing piano when I was 10 years old because I had a long interest in music. For 6 years, I improved myself a lot and played jazz and classical pieces by composers such as Chopin, Bach, Mozart, Scott Joplin, Rachmaninov. During this period, I participated in various festivals, exams and competitions. In 2020, I got my certificate in piano instrument from London College Of Music. I am now making music videos on my youtube channel called Beren Özyurt.
With the exhibitions and workshops I participated in three years ago, my interest in painting started to increase. At first, I was making paintings by myself without training. I took part in a group exhibition called Course Of Self in May 2019 as the youngest artist. My painting called African Woman was exhibited. It was reported in various newspapers, magazines and websites. So I decided that I wanted to be more professional in painting and now I am a student of painter Mahir Güven.
