He was born in Istanbul in 1994. He lives and works in Istanbul. He graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts - Sculpture Department in 2016. As of 2022, he has been continuing his Thesis Master's degree in Sculpture at the Fine Arts Institute of the same university.
He has created sculptures outdoors and received awards. He conducts his artistic work and research through the relationship between the parts and the whole. The relationship and dynamics between the parts that unite the whole constitute the central point of Ozan Dursun's sculptures. While the successive parts carry unique stories, the combination of these stories creates new meanings. The artist re-examines these created meanings through concepts such as figure, space, body, and object. He continues his productions with materials such as stone, wood, metal, and bronze in his Istanbul studio.
