TURGAY SARI, Turkey
Hello.. Turgay Sarı was born in 1972 in Narman Şekerli, Erzurum. He grew up in the soil house where he was born, in unspoiled nature until he was 12 years old. He lived his childhood by touching the colors, textures of the soil, the plants on the soil; feeling every state of nature and breathing in its smell. He spent all his time shaping mud, stone, soil and plants, inventing toys, and unconsciously making sculptures. He came to Erzurum for his secondary education. During this period, he worked in economics and accounting after school. As a result of this successful work period, he preferred Atatürk University, Faculty of Business Administration, with the encouragement of his environment. In the 3rd year of university, he was sure that this field did not satisfy him and dropped out of the faculty. He passed the exam for the Painting Department of the Faculty of Education of the university and graduated from this department in 1998. In the same year, he passed the Ministry of National Education teacher exam and started teaching art. He still continues to provide art education at Yalova Atatürk Science and Art Center. Turgay Sarı never abandoned his passion for painting that started in his childhood. He devoted all his work to drawing attention to the rapid deterioration of nature and soil by the hands of modern savage humans. The artist has participated in more than 200 mixed exhibitions in Turkey and abroad to date. He regularly exhibited his works in many art fairs held in Turkey such as IAAF, ARTCONTAC, Bodrum Art Fair, İzmir Art Fair, ARTANKARA. The artist, whose paintings are in collections in our country and abroad, has opened 10 personal exhibitions. Turgay Sarı still continues his painting works in his studio in Yalova.
