Hüseyin Işık was born in the early 1960s in a small Kurdish village and immigrated with his family to Istanbul shortly after.
His artistic journey began with his very first drawing on a wall before he even attended primary school, leading to trouble and punishment. Despite the challenges, he pursued art, publishing his first short story in 1975 and his first cartoon a year later.
Amidst political turmoil in Turkey, he studied graphic arts at university and worked as a cartoonist for various newspapers and underground publications. In 1988, he moved to Vienna, where he continued to explore themes of identity, racism, and otherness through his art.

Over the years, he found solace and creativity in public spaces, embracing a different kind of storytelling. Despite obstacles, including being unable to return to Turkey due to military service obligations, he now finds peace under a tree in Burgenland, brewing coffee for his neighbors.
