Mehtap Hacioglu

I am a multi-disciplined, mostly self taught artist interested in the social, emotional, cultural, and political aspect of life. My works are a representation of my personal journey in life influenced by the different cultures I have experienced. I hope to share my vision about the world through my art and to connect with you the viewer and would like you to connect more deeply with your own experiences. I am trying to encourage people to appreciate the nature around them, to love deeply and enjoy their lives.

I studied Psychology and then went to Graduate School in Counseling Psychology but I do have a Minor in Studio art. After I raised my children I started my artistic journey mostly through self teaching. I love deeply the process of creation and love drawing the human figure (mostly women). I am intrigued by colors and shapes and that’s why I am trying to use a very colorful palette in my worK.
