BIOGRAPHY & CV
Visual artist, designer, and entrepreneur born on May 19, 1989, Küntay Tarık Evren is one of the pioneering figures of doodle art (Doodlism) in Turkey. Diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during childhood, Evren transformed his intense mental energy and chaos into lines, developing a completely unique and free visual language. He seamlessly combined his formal fine arts and design education from NABA Milano (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) with years of extensive advertising industry experience serving major national and international brands. Structuring his instinctive art production with strategic design disciplines, the artist brings together illustration, pop-art, brand identity, and digital production within his works. Today, he continues his personal artistic journey under KUN'ST STUDIO, executing large-scale installations, interactive live performances, and masterclasses in collaboration with global brands.
