A warm hello!🌸
Nilay Paz is an illustrator and educator. She studied MA Illustration at Falmouth University, specialising in editorial illustrations and PGCE Art & Design at National Institute of Teaching, London,UK. She is a freelance self-employed illustrator in the UK , accepting commissions worldwide.
Nilay held a virtual exhibition with the Holy Art Gallery in May 2023. In January 2024, her work was shown in the Holy Art Gallery London and in March 2024, her work was shown again at the Holy Art Gallery in New York,US. She’s recently joined the Artboxy project to exhibit in Miami Art Weeks (Miami, USA), Nicoleta Art Gallery (Berlin, Germany) and Andie Art Gallery (Athens, Greece) in December 2023. Nilay has also directed nature stories to share the understanding of diversity, inclusion, feminist power, environmentalism and love.
Nilay illustrates digitally, using Adobe Creative Suite and enjoys animating with Procreate and Adobe After Effects. She also loves to create with traditional mediums too, using watercolours and aquarelle pencils.
The characters she invents help the viewer connect with nature and she particularly likes art featuring the sun and the sea. Nilay uses mark making, vibrant colours and textures to emphasise emotions.
Though she prefers to live in the busy, diverse culture of London and Istanbul, surrounded by art, in her free time she likes cycling and walking in nature, and making ceramics.
