Nursun Hafızoğlu completed her undergraduate education at Çukurova University Painting Department in 2011 and her master’s degree at Akdeniz University Fine Arts Institute Painting Department in 2020. The artist currently continues her studies in Proficiency in Art program at the Akdeniz University Fine Arts Institute in Antalya.
The artist depicts modern cities and images from urban life in her paintings produced with mixed media. While the images of the cities consist of objects, signs, and symbols that are experienced in daily life practices, the images of animals and abstraction of plants located in the paintings symbolize the destruction of the wildlife and habitats. Her art practice is based on the greed of the city and the alienation of urban mankind from nature. In her paintings, she points out that ‘mankind has to change’ and depicts her subjects by considering the utopia and dystopia concepts.
