Ali Yildiz

Ali Yildiz born 1998 in İzmir, Turkiye. He first graduated from Işılay Saygın Fine Arts High School and then from Ege University, Department of Visual Pedagogy.

Now he lives and studies in Vienna. He is currently in the class of Daniel Richter at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. In his artworks, he deals with the damage to individuals' sense of belonging due to change of location. His work reflects the tension between individuality and cultural pressure, as well as the challenges of adapting to a new life. Migration, for him, redefines identity, belonging, and reveals hidden struggles.
