Ömer İzgeç (PhD) is a storyteller working across literature, visual art, and digital media.
He is the author of two novels, a short story collection, and two picture books for children. His literary work—spanning fiction, critical essays, and reviews—has been featured in a range of respected magazines and newspapers.
Blending fiction, staged photography, and digital composition, his work explores memory, displacement, and the fluid boundaries between what is seen and what is said.
Through his hybrid approach, İzgeç creates intimate yet expansive works that invite reflection, interpretation, and immersion in the unfolding nature of story. Whether through words or images, his work continues to explore the layered, suspended nature of narrative.
He currently continues his photography and digital art practice from his own studio, where the storytelling impulse remains central.
İzgeç’s work has been shown in major art hubs including Istanbul, Paris, New York, and London.
