Mervenur Okumuş

Crea-Up

I was born in 1997 in Manisa, Turkey. My artistic journey began in 2015 at Osmangazi University in Eskişehir, where I studied visual communication design. In 2017, I joined the Sculpture Department at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul, where I honed my skills in modeling and metalwork for four years. To further deepen my technical knowledge and expand my artistic practice, I pursued my studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, earning both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in sculpture. During my time in Brussels, I developed skills in mechanical systems and electronics applied to sculpture, as well as exhibition curation. I am currently continuing to develop my projects in my studio in Brussels, where I participate in various exhibitions, residencies, and curatorial projects.
