Born in Ankara in 1998, Derin Ekin Kenter is a printmaker dedicated to expanding the possibilities of her medium. After graduating at the top of her class in Graphic Design from Atılım University, she honed her skills in traditional techniques through etching studies in Italy at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari and an internship at the Akbank Sanat Lithography Studio.
