Muammer Kırmızıgül was born in 1962 in Istanbul. He graduated from Sultanahmet Vocational High School of Industry, Department of Electrical Studies, in 1980. He began working in the art of pyrography (woodburning) during childhood through pencil drawing and oil painting. He was trained by his uncle, the self-taught artist Halil Gelgeç, who passed away in 1988.

He is the author of the first book on pyrography in Turkey. He has trained many students, including Gülçin Civelek, Serap Şahin, Eda Yil, Aysima İkra Şahin, Şenol Özkaraca, and Tuanna Uzun.
