Born in Istanbul in 1981, Emre Yusufi is a Turkish artist renowned for blending classical mythology with contemporary culture. He studied at Academia Italiana Fine Art School in Florence, received his B.A. from Marmara University Fine Arts Faculty and his M.A. in visual communication design from Yeditepe University.

His iconic Hercules series reimagines the mythological hero in modern, relatable contexts — offering a fresh perspective on tradition and modernity. From museum halls to collaborations with adidas, Volvo, Durex and Lipton, his practice moves fluidly between sculpture, design and sound.

His work is part of important collections in Istanbul, London, Paris, New York, Miami, Rome, Monaco, Cannes and Courchevel, and he is represented by the French gallery Les Galeries Bartoux.
