Mustafa Karyagdi

He was born in Konya in 1961. He graduated from the Department of Painting at the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts (1985). He has held 12 solo exhibitions, received four achievement awards, and one honorable mention. His works are present in numerous private and public museums and collections. The artist has participated in over 200 group exhibitions, as well as various artistic events such as fairs and symposiums. He has also served as a jury member in several painting competitions. Between 1996 and 2013, he worked as a Lecturer in the Department of Fine Arts Education, Faculty of Education, Marmara University. Currently, he is serving as a Lecturer at Yeditepe University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Plastic Arts. In his works, the artist aims to reveal both the image itself and its conceptual transformation in perception, approaching the image as a visual text that leads to a kind of self-analysis. The conventional subjects in his works, which are based on iconographies known, recognized, and embraced by the viewer, allow for an artistic investigation, encouraging the viewer to question themselves and examine artistic taboos. His works are fundamentally based on the action of "analysis-synthesis" and "deconstruction-reconstruction." His works are part of many public and private collections both domestically and internationally.
