Born in 1944 in Kahramanmaraş, İrfan Seçkin completed his primary and secondary education and graduated from Istanbul Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences.
He started his plaque and painting apprenticeship as a child in 1966 and continued to work throughout his university education in Istanbul. He earned rightful reputation by producing original works for the Out-Door market at his own Süper Rek. Gör. Tas. Atölyesi (Süper Advertising and Visual Design Workshop).
Seçkin handed over the commercial division of his workshop to his son in 2001 and since then dedicated himself fully to painting. He has contributed to major collections at home and abroad.
The artist opened his first solo painting exhibition entitled "Aklımda Kaldığınca " (As Much as I Can Remember) on April 2, 2010.
