The Artist

Technologist who feels he has more to give life to than technology. Born in Istanbul in a year that doesn't matter, has been living in Amsterdam longer than he should have.

Speaks Turkish, English, and deliberately no more than three phrases of Dutch: "Goedemorgen, een biertje alstublieft, dank u wel" — which tells you more about his drinking habits than you should know.

Likes spoons more than forks.

Turkish by birth, Dutch by passport, homeless by heart.
