BIOGRAPHY

 

 

Nadide Üster, born in 1996 in Bursa, began her art education at Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts. There, she studied Painting (major) and Sculpture (minor).

In 2022, as part of the Erasmus program, she continued her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, expanding her artistic practice through an international experience.

The artist, who is pursuing her Master’s degree in the Sculpture Department at Marmara University, continues her work in Istanbul.

 

Üster’s practice focuses on the transient relationships between memory and the body. Through materials such as paraffin, metal, concrete and stone. She explores processes of time, disappearance and rewriting.

Her work centers on the tensions that arise at the threshold between impermanence and permanence, reconsidering the traces left by bodies and objects within spatial relationships. By bringing together the layers of meaning that emerge from the encounter of contrasting materials. She creates new narrative forms imbued with the inherent stories of the materials themselves.
