Fitnat Katircioglu is a French painter of Circassian origin, born in Istanbul-Turkey. Her introduction to the artistic world was at an early age through her mother, artist, Jale Yasan. After graduating from the French Secondary school, Notre Dame de Sion, she went to Paris in 1971 and earned an art degree from the Nationale Superior Fine Arts School of Paris. While she was a young student in the the Nationale Superior Fine Arts School, her art became a great attraction to the art word.

Her paintings are of Avant-Garde Visionary – Fantastic/Surrealist style and she applies old masters’ technique in the execution of her paintings. The themes are often about life, death, the birth of the world and its evolution, and the mystery of the universe, the struggle of men and nature for a better world and resolving various conflicts. She dreams of being able to live together in harmony and transform the world in a timeless universe where nature, in every sense of the term, in mutation can also “hide more images”. Through her paintings, she sometimes expresses black humor, suggests a story in itself, like a comic book or science fiction.
