He currently continues his work in Sarıgöl district of Manisa, where he works. Art Perspective; His paintings mainly feature portraits of Atatürk. Hüseyin Ergil, who draws his portraits by scribbling, aims to add movement to his portraits without destroying these lines. The artist thinks that lines are in a constant search in his works, and that this search, which starts with a dot, turns into different figures along the way. For him, he sets out from a simple scribble, finds new discoveries in life, and aims to capture the characters of different portraits, and in a way, reveals the complexity of his inner world in his art. He says that it is a great excitement to transform ordinary lines into works of art in an extraordinary way, going beyond the boundaries. He states in his works that lines are not actually the same as each work before, and that they create a personality, just like a fingerprint.Exhibitions and Awards; 2005 Pamukkale University ‘’End of Year Mixed Exhibition’’/ Denizli 2007 Oil Painting Mixed Exhibition H.
