Hi, I’m Erol Yıldırım.

I was born in 1959 in Bolu. I did my primary, secondary and high school education in Izmir. I enrolled in the Military Academy in 1977. I attended the painting course opened in the military school in 1980. and in the same year I attended a group exhibition. I started working as a Lieutenant in 1981. My painting work continued. I bought a painting wolf from Iranian painter Yakup Hüseyinzade. In 2010-2013, he worked as a professor at Marmara University Art Teaching Department. I received original printing training from Prof. H. Müjde Ayan.


Education: I took the Turkish Military Academy painting course. I took a painting course from the Iranian painter Yakup Hüseyinzade. Between 2010 and 2013, she took the printmaking techniques course from Professor H. Müjde Ayan.

Events: While the people who come to me tell me about their private lives, I start to draw symbolizing what is told with pen on cardboard. I draw by talking to him. I tell people what the patterns I draw mean and they know it ... Then the words end, the drawing is finished. Then I will give them 4 photocopies of the drawing. People place photocopies of drawings in different corners of their homes or workplaces. I tell them to draw on the photocopy drawings in different ways what they cannot tell or tell me. They know the meaning of their drawings. Then they tell me the shapes and symbols they draw. I include patterns in figures without knowing their meaning. And in this way, some of the terepi drawings are made. Then came the oil painting was not finished. A pattern is drawn on the canvas and milk is mixed, I wait for it to dry. I glue the imitation gold, silver and copper leaves according to the pattern. When it dries, I arrange the transitions with imitation gold, silver and copper powders. Then I draw the pattern again and start painting in oil.
