Green Automobile and nostalgia (2017) Painting by Faruk Köksal

"I graduated from Istanbul University with a degree in Journalism (Communication Faculty). I started my career at a company and later established our own advertising firm. We specialized in trade shows, visual printing, space design, and arrangements, among other services. Visual arts and painting had always been an inseparable part of my life. I indulged in watercolor whenever the opportunity arose and grew fond of its enchanting art. In fact, during my middle and high school years, I had already drawn the attention of my art teachers. However, it was in 2007-2008 that I truly accelerated my passion for painting.

I began creating tourist watercolor paintings and prints for museum shops and, recently, I opened a private watercolor course in response to numerous requests. I succeeded in instilling a love for watercolors in many people and provided assistance to the best of my ability. I also conducted interviews with certain magazines upon their request. Following my journey with watercolors, I ventured into acrylic painting. Whether it's watercolor or acrylic, I continue to explore and create. I never limit my subjects, but I particularly enjoy paintings that tell a story. I will continue to create because, as any artist knows, creating art not only nourishes one's own soul but also speaks to the souls of its viewers."
