Tuğba YAZICI
Multidisciplinary Artist & Film Producer
Born in Istanbul and based in Florida, Tuğba Yazıcı is a multidisciplinary artist who has achieved international success in art, fashion, writing, and film production. Her education in the Faculty of Fine Arts (Painting Department) and at Istanbul Fashion Academy laid the foundation for her unique approach that blends art and fashion.
By developing the concept of Portable Art, Yazıcı transforms her canvases into fashion designs. In her portraits of women, the recurring “eye” theme offers an artistic interpretation of women’s desire to be seen and acknowledged.
Tuğba Yazıcı’s artistic manifesto is more of a human call than an aesthetic declaration: A belief that a world where women, art, and life nourish one another is possible. This belief echoes in both her writings and her paintings in the same sentence:
“Life has layers. And in each of those layers, we rise by holding a woman’s hand.”
Her works have been exhibited in prestigious international art platforms and solo exhibitions, including the Florence Biennale, Louvre Museum, Carrousel du Louvre (Paris), Miami Art Basel & Art Week, New York Art Expo, Venice Biennale, Boston, Istanbul, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Switzerland MAÇ.
Supporting her artistic production through writing, Yazıcı contributes articles on art, culture, and travel to ArtTmodernmiami newspaper and various European publications. She is also the founder of the international digital newspaper ArtTmodernmiami (arttmodernmiami.com)
In cinema, she has served as producer and art director in projects such as “Serbülent Apartmanı” (2021) and “Echo Pilot Episode” (2024). The film “Echo” has won numerous international awards, including Best Short Film and Best Actress. She has also been featured in producer interviews by Cannes Film Awards, New York International Film Awards, Rome Prisma Film Awards, European Film Awards, and many other festivals.
