Hale Gungor was born in Adana, Turkey, in 1981. She started wearing glasses when she was eleven months old.At the age of two, she ran into a table and got stitches on her right eyelid.

At the age of two and a half, it turned out she was cross-eyed; she had an eye operation. When she was four, she moved to Mollis, Switzerland, where she started kindergarten and primary school. At the age of seven, she banged her head on the bed she was jumping on; she got another twelve stitches. When eight, she moved to Istanbul. After ranking first at her primary school graduation, her Robert College period took a

start. At the age of fifteen, she started working on sculpture with Irfan Korkmazlar and drawing with Gulcin Aksoy. When eighteen, she went to Parsons School of Design in Paris to study fine arts. She returned to Istanbul at the age of twenty-two and now continues to paint in her little studio.
