The micro art painting artist did his primary schooling in Erzurum and then completed his secondary education in Bursa. In 2012, he was selected in the Faculty of Fine Arts Traditional Turkish Handicrafts Department at Atatürk University. He got familiar to micro art painting just a couple of years ago. The importance of innovations in art was explained to Mesut by a master painter which guided him this way. He told him that there are lot of artists who can draw on big canvasses but very few can do it on tiny objects. Thus, he got motivated by the idea that micro painting can become more memorable and appreciable.
