Evren Sungur (1980, Istanbul) studied Architecture at Yeditepe University and Sculpture at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.

Sungur, who mainly focuses on human in his painting, defines his conceptual framework as questioning the nature, evolution, existence and civilization of human beings. Depending on these elements, he is inspired by the behavioral characteristics of human beings, the dual character between reason and instincts, male-female relations that determine the social order, intergenerational competition and cultural/political past. The poetic phenomenon in Sungur’s paintings arises from the tragedy of the instinctive behaviors and reflexes of his figures, in contrast to their own evolution, the civilization they created, and finally their existence.
