My name is Canan Topaloglu. My family is from Artvin, Hopa  on the east part of The Black Sea. I have been living in Istanbul since 10 years, after spending some years Ankara, New York, UK, Cyprus.

I graduated from Ankara, Gazi University, Education Faculty, Graphic Department. Later in my life I followed classes at The Art Students Leaque of New York, and Chinese Calligraphy at China Town, Manhattan NYC.USA

Most part of my life I have been busy with drawing, painting and photography. My passion is specially related to paper art.
My recent work is much focus on the theme of shadows: in my acrylic work,  photography,  oil painting and even my collage .

In my 17th century studio at the Buyuk Valide Han, in the center of old Istanbul, I work on a daily basis. On this web side, you can find some of my recent work.

I  hope you will be inspired by my art.
