Doğu Özgün (1988) completed his undergraduate (2011), master's degree (2016) and proficiency in art (2021) programs at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. He studied his master's degree program on the relationship between spatial techniques and artistic content in painting. He completed his qualification in art with a thesis he wrote on the criticism of speciesism in art history. He continues his artistic productions around the concepts of the illusion of trust, the will to shake and confront the center, the uncanny and alienation. He has participated in group exhibitions and collaborations in Istanbul, London and Cologne since 2011.
