He studied at Cornell University, Istanbul’s Sabancı University and holds a Master’s degree from London’s Goldsmiths College.

Kosemen’s artistic output ranges from scientifically accurate portrayals of prehistoric and imaginary lifeforms, to figurative surreal paintings that draw inspiration from the land, history, and the lifeforms of the Mediterranean world.
