MeliksahSoytürk’s attention to detail and the finer things is masterfully present in all his work! His art takes me back to a magical and beautiful place called Istanbul - with its charming streets, the view of the Bosporus, the windows in each of the houses… all telling a unique story to the eye. Soytürk captures meaning and energy, using charcoal as his strongest instrument. Most recently, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing his exhibit “New York Meets Istanbul”, in New York City, where this wonderful artist was able to showcase his unique talent and expertise.

Soyturk’s knowledge in science and various disciplines has helped him understand the nature and historic events well instead of looking at them in a unilateral way. His love for art and Istanbul made him unite these two beloved together. Soyturk has studied Da Vinci, and his admiration for Da Vinci has positively added to his life and artwork. He continuously gives seminars to help people understand and like art and science. He is not only a prolific artist but also a teacher and a scientist.
