Born in 2004 in Izmir, Turkey, to a family of violinists, Toprak grew up surrounded by music and was largely raised by the internet, learning much of what he knows directly from the web. Childhood trips to the cinema with his father sparked an early fascination with film and visual storytelling. Driven by a desire to reverse-engineer the media he consumed, he taught himself to draw, edit, and animate—developing an informally honed skill set long before formal education began.This early fluency meant that throughout his school years, any visual or media-related project naturally fell onto his shoulders. From painting school murals to editing event videos, he often claimed to be exhausted by the workload, though he secretly thrived on it. It resulted in an absurd library of small, eccentric projects that will never see the light of a formal portfolio, but served as his true testing ground.The summer before high school marked a major turning point in how he viewed visual media, as exploring cinema and alternative art forms shifted his creative perspective and inspired him to forge his own distinct visual voice. After entering Dokuz Eylül University’s Faculty of Fine Arts with a top score, he realized the institution’s approach wasn't the right fit. Choosing vision over inertia, he restarted his academic path at Anadolu University’s Graphic Arts Department. Now based in Eskişehir, he works across multiple mediums to tell stories, explore ideas, and build visual worlds.
