Ahmet Fitoloğlu graduated from A.D.M.M. Academy of Architecture in 1978. His art training began earlier — under Lütfü Günay, Kayıhan Keskinok and Celal Yetkin — and spans decades of studio practice. Combining the architect's sense of space, balance and composition with painting, Fitoloğlu has developed a distinctive voice in abstract expressionist figurative art.
