sunny shore (2020) Painting by Aytaç Dutki̇N

I was born in Izmir in 1987, I am married and have 1 child.

I have been painting as an amateur for 3 years.

I love nature, photography, nature walks, and the sea.

I try to adopt a realistic and impressionist painting style and create works in this direction.

My favorites are Mark Keathle, Andrew Tischler and Mark Maggiori from today's painters,

I am also a fan of Mork Monsted and Albert Bierstadt from the past painters.

I couldn't understand why I had to write such a long CV, I just love painting and I am happy to share it with people. Summer really never ends, maybe I could add my interview here and the word count would be enough.

I remember that I loved painting when I was a child, I loved painting in primary and secondary school, my teacher noticed and we went to painting competitions together many times, I came back with a few first place and many honorable mention awards from these competitions.

Of course I stopped painting after high school, I could not pick up a paintbrush again as a result of the rush of preparing for exams, preparing for university and then starting life.

I did not expect that the emergence of the virus would cause me to want to start painting again, which I had always wanted to do, but things got out of hand and the virus reached Turkey as well, as a result of this my wife and I did not leave the house for very long periods. With the transition to working from home and the curfews, I finally had the opportunity to do what I had been thinking about for a long time.
