Artists › Elif Çatlıoğlu
An artist and actor, Elif Çatlıoğlu is also the creative founder of X House Project. Born in Istanbul in 1990, Çatlıoğlu began art training in 2004 at Private Ataşehir Adıgüzel Fine Arts High School. From 2008 to 2013 Çatlıoğlu studied at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Department of Painting, and during this period worked as an assistant to Mahir Güven. After training in “Reading Paintings,” Çatlıoğlu received training in “Pedagogical Formation” and “Entrepreneurship.” Çatlıoğlu completed a master's degree in plastic arts at Yeditepe University. Since 2011 Çatlıoğlu has continued working in a personal studio. Çatlıoğlu's paintings deal with psychoanalysis and human states of mind and convey emotion. Çatlıoğlu works with figurative and abstract concepts together. Alongside painting, Çatlıoğlu designed stage sets for municipal theaters. Besides “PAR” for the municipal theater, Çatlıoğlu created designs for BEYMEN İstinye and WEPUBLIC. In 2015 Çatlıoğlu established a brand called “X HOUSE,” an artist's project within which Çatlıoğlu still actively organizes various boutique and corporate workshops. Having received acting training in childhood, Çatlıoğlu actively appears in many advertising projects. Having taken part in many gallery and exhibition projects in Türkiye and abroad, Çatlıoğlu continues to pursue international artistic work. With a studio in Moda, Elif Çatlıoğlu organizes many events open to the public.
