Born in 1991 in Istanbul, Seda Gazioğlu is an artist who seamlessly intertwines tradition and contemporary practice. She began her education at Parsons School of Design in New York, later continuing at Central Saint Martins in England. Since 2014, Gazioğlu has actively contributed to the art scene through a diverse range of mediums, including oil painting, metal sculpture, video, and digital art, often utilizing found and antique objects, notably vintage Turkish carpets.

Her artistic approach is shaped by her experience with a learning difference, leading her to create a unique mapping method that simplifies complex subjects into accessible visuals. This minimalist, subject-driven aesthetic emphasizes the essence of each piece, presenting her work in an “audition tape” format that invites viewers to engage deeply with the subject matter.

Gazioğlu's exploration of human cognition, particularly its interpretation of rituals and superstitions, reveals the intricate relationship between the supernatural and the everyday. Growing up in Turkey, she examines the pervasive magic within her culture, often masked as superstition. Through her work, Gazioğlu uncovers the hidden magic of daily life, mapping these elements to ordinary forms and encouraging a re-examination of the familiar as a landscape rich with mystical dimensions.
