| While painting at the Kicevo Art Colony I had the good fortune of meeting Feridun. It was great to see his works at the begining of the week and how they developed and formed by the end of the week. He has been attending the two week colony for about ten years and his paintings hang throughout the hotel which houses the Art Colony.
I was greatly impressed by his works and upon meeting him I was equally impressed by his charismatic and good natured personality. We had a good time chatting and joking around, so I asked him if it would be okay to put something about him on our website. He handed me a catalouge and a CD of images, but there is simply too much good work from him and he has done way too much to even list or post all of it. So here is a sample of an incredible talent and amazing person. Hope you enjoy! We wish him all the best!
