Kosemen is known for his artwork, depicting living and extinct animals as well as surrealist scenes, and his writings on paleoart, speculative evolution, and history and culture in Turkey.
Kösemen subsequently went to Goldsmiths College (London) in 2007, from which he achieved a Master of Arts degree in Documentary Film and Media Studies in 2008.
