Nazikeda Kaya




I was born on February 23, 2003 in Mersin, Turkey, I am a 4th year student at Istanbul Kültür University, Department of Cartoons and Animation, and on the other hand, I am doing an internship at an animation company. I have been breathing and living with art for as long as I can remember, art is like a part of me. I am also involved in skating and kickboxing. I have been experimenting with short animations and stop-motion since I was 8 years old. When I was 16, I opened my own personal painting exhibition, 'The Butterfly Effect', and then I took part in the Women Artists Group Painting Exhibition organized to combat violence against women. Throughout my high school years, I participated in all events and competitions, ranked in the rankings, and received 19 certificates and 1 plaque. I founded the school music group for a while in high school, and then I was the president of the theater club. My own beat albums are published on the Soundcloud platform, and I also have more than 100 poems. In my first year at university, I was a member of the general assembly of the Leadership and Management club, and in my second year, I was a member of the board of directors of the Google Developer Student Club and the Blockchain club.
In 2020, I shared my first short animation film attempt, ‘Andromeda’s Dream’, on Instagram. Then, I focused on my comic book works and published one of my first works on the Çizgi Studio platform.
In 2022, I took part in the digital exhibition Kabuk and took part in the 2024 ArtContact Istanbul, an international art fair with Tamer Leven through SANATAEVET. I took part in the 2024 Kadıköy ÇizgiFest with the Illustrators Platform and gave an introduction to animation workshop. I took part in the works of the animated film Cille 2069, which was released in cinemas. I currently share my works on my Instagram page @nakida.animation.
My biggest dream is to be a pioneering artist who goes down in history and to be a beacon of hope for people.
