Coplu's
journey as an artist began when he was a young
child. His mother, a weaver, taught him about
figures, the meaning of patterns and also the
profound, emotional effectiveness of color.
His formative years were periods of optimism,
although the challenges and changes in his world
gave him the urge to paint, simply for freedom
of expression.
His
first too was a carved stick that he used while
he was studying to become a mining engineer.
"My heart could not remain on my studying
while my mind was occupied with political issues.
I was witnessing a huge turmoil in my environment
and documenting it through my art. Soon art
became more important to me than the study of
rocks and soil."
Born
in the Turkish town of Ushak, Coplu is now based
in Vancouver, Canada. Following his first art
exhibition in 1984 he has become a well-loved
and widely collected artist, exhibiting throughout
Europe, North America and Asia. His works have
been published in numerous magazines, newspapers
and books across the world.
