Selda (Epice) Ozudogru
A little girl who opened her eyes to the world in 1979. I started living with my grandmother when I was 2 years old. I have loved painting since I was a child. My grandmother always bought me paints and told me that I would make the world beautiful with them. My family used to say, "This girl will be a painter when she grows up" :). I was proud of myself as every picture I made in elementary school was hung on the school board. My art teacher always supported me and believed that I could do more.

I started my high school education in Kalaba Girls Vocational High School in 1994. I was learning art. :) I graduated in 1997. It should have been at the academy now. I worked, I studied, I studied, I was drawing patterns as if I was crazy.
In 2001, I won the Gazi University Vocational Education Faculty Painting Department with the 2nd place. During this period, I met many artists. I graduated from the faculty in 2005 and was then an educator at the same time.
Between 2001 and 2003, while continuing my education, I gave painting lessons to young people who were going to take the special talent exams at the faculty of fine arts. Many of my students have achieved the success they wanted.
In 2007, I started working at the Antigone Art workshop. While I was continuing my painting studies here, I had many students and teaching children and young people how to paint was the best moment. At the end of the academic year, we opened workshop exhibitions. Many of my students, like me, passed the fine arts academy exams and started their education. A few of my students have been qualified to study art in the countries such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and Canada.
It is a project that started with the idea of ??“Art for All” by the University Society Association, founded by Middle East Technical University in 2011-2013. It aims to meet children who cannot reach art with art. In this project, it was our first duty to paint with children and teach them how to paint.
In 2013, within the framework of the AbbVie initiative, I took part in the project of exporting the emotions experienced by the patients by bringing together ?M?H patients with artists from all over the world. Each piece tells the journey of a person with their illness. My mystery was chosen by the jury of AbbVie representatives for this project as the most effective expression of emotions and was exhibited all over the world in 2014 and further. It was also used as poster images.
In 2013, the Ankara Bar Association launched the “Gelincik” project to support all women who were pushed, beaten, oppressed, subjected to psychological and sociological violence. I took part in this project, in which many artists participated, and our works became the symbol of violence experienced by all women.
After the accident that killed 301 workers in Soma in 2014, I took part in the art solidarity for the workers. The revenues of the works we produced were donated to the children of 301 workers.
I worked as a Visual Arts teacher at Art College (Private Arif Gürler Anatolian High School) in 2014-2015. During my tenure, I established an Art Club at the school so that children could be intertwined with art. In addition, by opening an art workshop in the school nursery, I also helped little hands to get involved in paints.
In my painting works, each figure has a meaning and the color I emphasize in each figure has a feeling. I take them to different worlds in places and create new stories. Colors and textures gain a new dimension every day.
