TUNA TUNABOYLU

Tuna Tunaboylu, born in Antalya, is an artist who is on his unpredictable and engrossing journey. Before enrolling in Gerrit Rietveld Academie, he spent all his life in Turkey. This radical change is emblematic of his courage and passion for art which are also deeply woven in his performances and films. Although trained in many art forms, Tuna has found his calling in performance art in which he combines the elements of his mind and body. This mental and physical exploration has been and still is, exhausting and demanding but also has led to his self-identification both as an artist and as a person. Tuna’s artistic vision is about self-expression, courage, and spontaneity. Using these components, he is exploring and pushing his mental and physical limits through which he grows as an artist. This transformation, even though, hard and painful, is a crucial path to take for any young artist who is serious and passionate about making art. Tuna’s projects are making an impact on those who are curious enough to enquire the limits of physical endurance, mental awareness, spiritual exploration but maybe, more importantly, life itself.
