Samet Sert

Samet started his undergraduate studies in Bursa at Uludağ University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, majoring in Painting. After one year of studies he decided to continue with his education in Istanbul at Marmara University majoring in Sculpture in order to be in a more artistic environment and have access to more opportunities. He is still continuing his undergraduate studies at Marmara University.

Aside from sculpture, he has productions in various art forms such as Interdisciplinary (Visual, Auditory) Video Art, Performance and Photo-performance. As subjects he takes humans in their social and historical context. He sees the issue of Identity and Body as the key issues of his own culture and society; he sees art as pivotal in expressing such concepts. He approaches video and performance with the same discipline as sculpture. He brings in the foreground issues of identity, alienation and consumerism. He continues with his artistic productions in Istanbul.
