Melike Kuş was born in Ankara in 1997. She graduated from Ankara Fine Arts High School, Painting Department, in 2015, and subsequently completed her degree in Painting at Anadolu University in 2020 with honors.
Kuş’s artistic practice is characterized by her ability to seamlessly merge different disciplines using embroidery techniques. With a conceptual approach to art, she often incorporates unconventional materials such as thread, wool, and fabric onto canvas, transcending traditional techniques and materials. This process sometimes results in organic textures that appear to move independently.
She works across various media, including painting, sculpture, film, installation, and photography. Since 2019, she has participated in exhibitions and fairs both in Turkey and abroad, continuing her artistic practice between Istanbul and Dublin.
