Ekin Su Koç was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1986. She holds a BFA from Mimar Sinan Fine Art University, an MA in painting from the University of Seville and an MFA from Işık University. Her works derive from nature and human psychology, with symbolic elements as old ancient maps, daily magazines, different hair images, laces, flowers and animals, with all fragmented parts becoming a body. She uses traditional motifs and mass culture images from modern magazines to refer to multicultural contrasts and coexistence which make up life in order to narrate the story of travelling through time and land. She has exhibited her work internationally in galleries, museums and at biennales including Berlinische Galerie and Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. Her art is represented in private and public collections in Turkey, Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, the United States and the Middle East.
