Portrait of the artist Ugurel Türda

Türda Ugurel

"Capturing and holding on to motifs while creating a special atmosphere through slight abstraction – that's how I create my paintings. The unique light of the Côte d'Azur, which makes the colours glow, always inspires me to paint. I want to capture the seaside atmosphere and the beautiful coastlines with their marinas, with the charming villages and their picturesque alleys in my paintings while they are still beautiful to admire."

Türda Ugurel was born in Istanbul and has lived in Germany since 1960. Ugurel studied architecture at the TU Berlin and the TH Hannover. He also studied painting at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. Since 1982, the artist lives and works in Neuss/Rhine and in Nice on the Côte d'Azur.
