Self-taught marine artist Mustafa Gunen was born in Kirsehir, a mid-Anatolian city in Turkey. During his childhood he was highly intrigued by pencil drawing. By the time he finished primary school he had had several picture stories totalling two hundred pages. After primary school he started working as an apprentice in his father's furniture workshop. Later, he began by painting his own dreamscapes on his furniture pieces. Such a thing had never been tried before at that time. In 1993, he moved to working with oils on canvas directly.
