Biography

Hakan Beden hakanbeden @yahoo.com I was born in Turkey. I have degrees in electronics and nuclear medicine. I have been working as a nuclear medicine technologist.

I have always been fascinated with arts and science. I have deep interests in Cosmos, astronomy, particule physics, math puzzles, fitness and nutrition, sport cars and BMW motorcycles, documentaries about nature, history and science, movies from 1940's through 60's, and of course painting especially age of old Masters and Dutch masters, in addition to French and English painters of 19th century.

Drawing and painting is my passion. I never took classes in art or been tutored, coached or instructed. I learned by reading old masters and other masters' techniques and studying their work. I don’t consider myself as an artist yet, just a curious enthusiast who is fascinated by expressions of people and majestic animals, and their shadowy reflections on canvas and paper. I find refuge in painting. It's my fortress of solitude.
