MEHLIKA KOROL

She was born in 1956, in Izmir. In 1978-1979 she was graduated from Buca Education Institute Art Department. In 1987, she completed her bachelor’s degree at Dokuz Eylül University Buca Education Faculty Art Department.
In 1995, she had art studies at Salzburg International Summer Academy Professor Jakobo Borges Workshop. She still works as an art teacher and at the same time she is a member of the “Iz Group” which was founded by her and eight other friends. Also as a member of International Plastic Artists Association, she has attended so many exhibitions which were mixed and including competitions. She has many of her art works at local and internaional collections.
With new term studies she is like to be discovering moving like water, changing with the wind and never ending ways of life.
And that’s what playing at the edge of shapelessness can be defined.
Besides being herself, she is working with the zeal of starting a new adventure or a moment at the deepness of which she can find the real reflection of herself with the spirit of being a part of the big universe and points or marks of relations that form both the abstract truths and the visible differences’ invisible mutual spreadings.
