COPLU
生命是美好的艺术家
Coplu 是一位自学成才的艺术家，1958年出生于土耳其乌沙克（Ushak），6岁时举家迁居伊斯坦堡。6 0、 70 年代的土耳其因政变，社会政治动盪不安，当时在伊斯坦堡理工大学 (Istanbul Technical University) 修读採矿工程系的他，通过敏锐的欢察力，用画笔记录当时的生活情形，因此激發了他热爱绘画的热忱。
1984 年 Coplu 于土耳其伊斯坦堡举办首次个人展，随后在义大利、法国、德国、比利时、俄罗斯、西班牙、日本、韩国、美国和加拿大等皆有展览。作品曾被刊载于土耳其和欧洲的众多报章杂誌、画籍，并曾获1989年国际卡通大奖，及其他20馀座奖项。
他的卡通漫画被《土耳其日报》连载了5年。
他创办安塔利亚卡通学校（Cartoon School of Antalya）教导生活幽默艺术， 此外，他也开办露天漫画展，并于1991-1993年主办安塔利亚国际漫画大赛（International Cartoon Competition of Antalya ）。
Coplu 常成为各地媒体採访的对象，包括《亚洲新闻台》，其受访影片也在新加坡和亚洲22个国家播放。他的作品受到许多收藏家和机构喜爱并收藏，而Fine Art Publishers出版的12本限量作品集，则由全英国画廊代售。
Coplu一直探索不同形式的视觉艺术，并在过去25年扩展出自己独特的绘画风格。
近年来，他开始从事三维立体艺术创作，根据自己描绘的人物和场景创作了6个雕像。 其中最大雕像“大自然的爱─温暖”，则摆放在新加坡樟宜机场4号航厦中。
他喜欢游走在三大洲之间， 观察不同的人文和文化，也参与工作坊、慈善活动、艺术博览会、参展及艺术演讲。
