Berrin KUPIK / Painter / Turkey

I was born in 1962 in Izmir. In the years after my education, I took a break from painting, which I loved very much, and started working in a different sector. I went back to my art of painting, which I cannot give up. I continue to work on personal exhibitions, although I attend exhibitions from time to time. Although I am interested in many areas of art, I am trying to complete my poetry book. I also started researching and working on a book that I had dreamed of for a very long time. My painting works that shape and color my life have always been my priority that motivates and gives me pleasure. In my childhood, when I did not know what the inspiration was, the pictures in the newspaper and on the detergent box would attract my attention. One day, I suddenly started to draw on ordinary paper the pictures of hands and faces that I had cut out and kept for months in my notebook. In fact, this love of painting emerged. The love of painting and art, which I describe as a blessing, is the most beautiful feeling that will continue in me until I die.
