Setenay Özbek

Setenay Özbek (born 1962, Istanbul) Is a Turkish writer, artist and documentary maker.

Biography

From 1984 to 1986, Özbek studied art informally at the "Istasyon Art House", under the tutelage of several artists, Sabri Berkel, Hülya Düzenli, Erkan Özdilek and Ergül Özkutan. Her abstract expressionist paintings make frequent use of acrylic and oil techniques, they have a bold appearance due to the contrasting colours and shapes employed. Since 1986, Özbek went on to branch out into documentary film making.

In 1990, she graduated from Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts (Department of Performing Arts), and has also embarked on a writing career.

Özbek's paintings hang in several private collections and she continues to produce paintings in her own workshop.
