​I'm Nurgül Ergün, graduated from Kocaeli University in 2018 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Since the year I started university I have been taking  lessons in painting and art history to improve myself. After taking those lessons my passion has evolved and built my curiosity about art. 

​

During taking painting lessons there was a moment that the energy I felt transcended my being, and it put me in a state of questioning about this feeling. I believe I was lost in the creative flow. Since then, I have been trying to chase this moment of awareness and this feeling by art which help me to discover it. I believe that art is the most fundamental and original form of expression so I want to share my ideas and find answer to questions in my mind through art. I am very interested in the experience of flow and disappearance in the process of creating art.

​

Nature, human relationships and my own inner world are the sources that inspire me the most. I am also inspired by the work of other artists. I am fascinated by Van Gogh's relationship between his drawing and his paint and the questions he raises in Letters to Theo, while in Leonardo's notebooks I find traces of how I should work. Also Alberto Giacometti's painting and sculpture works make me see an artist's search for his own voice, his works support me in my own work process.
