Anit Nurzaie was born in Afghanistan and grew up in exile in the Middle East. In 2016, she emigrated with her family from Turkey to Germany. In 2025, she completed her studies as a Meisterschülerin at the Berlin University of the Arts. She now lives and works in Berlin.

Her interdisciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, installation, and ceramic objects. Central to her work is the tension between inner and outer landscapes, between imagination and reality. She processes both personal and collective experiences of displacement, memory, and identity formation.

Often conceived in series and developed in relation to space, her works take shape as image cycles such as Topography of a Self-Portrait or as object groups like Fragments of Transition. Indistinct figures, fragile surfaces, and open forms emerge as metaphors for states of in-betweenness, loss, and the search for belonging. Her practice invites reflection on identity, memory, and the potential of art as a site of transformation and self-location.
