Önder Bora

Önder Bora Born in Ordu, 1957, Önder Bora finished his education in Ünye. He graduated from İstanbul Atatürk Teacher Training College – Science Section in 1980. He worked as the science teacher in Sivas, Balıkesir and İzmir. Under the influence of his art teacher and his own father, he started to become interested in art much more. Since then, art become his way of living. His drawings attracted his art teacher’s attention. His wife – who is also an art teacher – supported his work. While doing this, she criticised him objectively. This helped him to have an objective way of evaluating his own art. In his abstract works, he shows his creativity. He uses acrilics while painting still life, people, labour and irregularity theme-based works. Explaining his works as “everyone of all ages can find something in my works”, he works at home what he calls “my secret workshop”. He is, now, working as a science teacher at Özel İzmir Ata İlköğretim Okulu. He believes that dreaming is the best thing he does even if they are nightmares. His passion about dreaming – that cannot be explained in anyway – makes him come closer to surrealism.
