Faruk Cimok was born in Reyhanli-Hatay, Turkey.
He graduated from the Istanbul State Fine Arts Academy (now known as Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University) Devrim Erbil Workshop.
He depicts the people of the rural part of Southern Anatolia, cotton workers, in crowded figure groups in his paintings.
In a sense, he caricatures, a unique taste of hoarding and anxiety of typology predominate.
