Who is Rüzgar Fidan?

Rüzgar Fidan, who was born in 1964, attended Gazi University’s art department after graduating from Ankara İncesu High School. He has worked and trained on Anatolian handicrafts (tile-ceramic, copper decoration (and relief), wood decoration, wood carving, model, sculpture and wall relief) for 35 years. Apart from comics and cartoons, he illustrated 168 magazines, books and book covers. In addition to these, he worked on charcoal and etching painting throughout that time. He is an amateur musician (playing baglama) and has 420 poems and 51 compositions.

He has been working on oil, acrylic and decorative paintings for the last 16 years and has been doing research on all schools of painting practiced in the world – and the methods applied. After all this, he developed his own painting technique. In short, he not only uses the painting method, which he has reduced to five stages, but also gives training. The method he calls “wet floor technique” briefly consists of five stages: pattern, intermediate color, shadow and necessary colors, general light, and final light. While this method allows the painting to be painted more quickly and in a controlled manner, it increases intellectual and design courage as it facilitates and accelerates the skill phase.
