YUKSEL CENGİZ
I started drawing cartoons during my high school years. I had my first encounter with visual arts in a professional (conscious) manner at the university (Mimar Sinan University, Faculty of Fine Arts). The foundations of my art knowledge were laid there (1987-1991). I take pride in this because it was the key to success and the most beautiful years of my life. Choosing this path was the happiest and most correct decision, and I will always be proud of it. During my time at the university, I took a break from drawing cartoons and comics as our teachers advised us to separate our drawing styles between fine art and graphics. I received extensive training in fine arts for many years. However, I always knew that something was missing. I quit drawing cartoons many times, but they never left me; let's call them faithful friends... Meanwhile, I participated in National and International Painting and Cartoon Competitions, thematic group exhibitions. My works were awarded in national and international cartoon competitions, and some of my pieces were accepted into museums. For 30 years, I have been working professionally in the field of visual arts education. In 2023, I completed my Master's degree in the Painting Department at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.
