Nusret Topuzoğlu

He is a self-taught artist born in Istanbul,Turkey. He painted on and off during his banking career as a hobby. In 2001 he opted for early retirement to spare time to paint. It was not until 2004 however that he took up art as a career. Since then he exhibited in various venues in Turkey. He finds watercolour a very exciting medium to paint with and although he uses a variety of techniques and styles, he likes painting in a loose, quick and wet style trying to render works look fresh and transparent.
