ABOUT

Upon completing his education in Graphic Design and Visual Arts in Milano in 2013, Evren furthered his education with an MBA in Brand Management and Social Media. Evren then took on art director role in advertising sector in İstanbul for the following 5 years, during which he designed the visual worlds of Pegasus, Beymen, Vestel, Renault, and many other global brands. He received prominent advertising awards such as Kristal Elma, Felix, and Kırmızı before he left the advertising sector in 2019 to fully dedicate himself to his art.

MANIFEST

With my art, I wanted to present a different approach to realism in art. Refusing to be obliged to an artistic movement while doing so, I created my own art style.In time, my works evolved from a pictographic conception into a pictorial concept, and this evolution sprang to life through symbolical messages in my paintings.

I express my inner world in my paintings. These worlds bring themselves into existence through surreal imagery. I transfer these mental manifestations onto paper without making use of esquisses. Without abiding by a particular text, feeling or notion, lines flow freely onto paper, creating patterns by intertwining and alternating with each other. I call my expressive artistic performance ‘DOODLISM’.

I’ve been using pop culture elements in my paintings since 2020. In a sense, I alloyed Doodlism with pop art.

What is Doodlism?

Doodlism is the art of scribbling which does not make us of sketches nor abide by a particular text, feeling or notion.
