Nilay Sabuncuoğlu is a multidisciplinary stylist and lifestyle photographer based in Bodrum.

 

Her artistic journey began with the study of conceptual art at university, followed by years spent in the fashion industry, where she honed her skills in photography and styling. It was the natural beauty and simple lifestyle of Bodrum that truly sparked her artistic vision, allowing her to channel this aesthetic language into her visual arts.

 

Her work has been recognized at festivals and biennials around the world, including the Ferrara International Festival in Italy, the International Video Art Festival in Buenos Aires, and the Prog Me Fest in Brazil, where she represented Turkey with her short films. With her ongoing education in art history, she is constantly expanding her understanding of the creative process, drawing on the rich traditions of nature morte. She shares her country life and table setups under the name galatea_sa on instagram.

Her work has also been featured in several magazines such as Maison Française, All Decor, Harper’s Bazaar, and Esquire Turkey.
