Born in Konya in 1976, Hakan Yaşar is originally from Dıyarbakır. He started to show interest in drawing and painting in primary school years.
After moving to Norway with his family in 1990, after finishing his secondary and vocational high school in Trondheim, he worked as a gourmet cook and carpenter for a long time.
A painting he saw during a gallery visit in 2010 refreshed his love for art. The painting on the wall was a painting by Eser Afacan, who lived in Norway like himself. Eser AFACAN is known as one of the most exciting names in modern Norwegian art history working in this field. He set aside his previous business life and started working as an assistant alongside Eser Afacan.
Since then, Hakan Yaşar has devoted himself to art and after his first exhibition in Norway attracted attention, he was invited as the only painter in a large organisation in Basel, Switzerland in 2012. Later he gave various exhibitions in Norway.
