I WRITE ON WALLS

Writer, Musician, Performer, Visual artist, Digital artist

 Nejda is a multidisciplinary artist born in Geneva, Switzerland, in a multicultural family from Swiss, French and Bulgarian descent. She studied visual arts, music and writing and has invented a distinctive path that mingles all these different fields together, using digital creation to bring all elements of her work into her own syncretic artistic expression.

In her visual work, she often uses hybrid forms, such as paintings and drawings encoded with poetry or music through QR codes. These pieces question the boundaries between visibility and invisibility, intimacy and exposition: what is revealed, what is concealed, and who holds access. By embedding language, sound, and memory into coded visual structures, she invites audiences to engage with technology not only as a tool for knowledge but also as a medium for imagination and dialogue.

In addition to traditional publishing, her poems are used as pieces featured in her visual creations – paintings, photographs, videos, installations – as lyrics for songs or as parts of transdisciplinary live performances that she creates with the TLC Project, a collective poetry – constantly evolving – improvisation show she founded in New York in 2014. After touring with the collective, she has created the show “Shakespeare et moi”, inspired by Shakespeare’s sonnets and is developing the show “Botev and I” around Hristo Botev’s work.

Seeing art as an ongoing conversation, she is always looking for ways to bring different creators together and keep the spectators, the readers and the public involved in the artistic experience. In a large part of her work, Nejda explores the idea of freedom and the ever-changing roles of our individual personalities in our human experience. She likes to play with what is shown and what is hidden, considering art a way to communicate beyond the inherent limitations of translation and cultural background. Coming from a family of physicists, she’s always been interested in the relation between art and science and is studying ways to build bridges of mediation between these two fields of exploration.

In the spring of 2025, during a Landis und Gyr Foundation residency in Sofia, Bulgaria, she collaborated with researchers and scholars from the Center for Advanced Study – Sofia on different projects mixing art and scientific research. Her next transdisciplinary TLC show will be developed with Bulgarian programmers and designers from Elektrik Me Studio in Sofia.

Living in Geneva, she works in Europe and in the US and travels the world as a digital artist, a performing artist, a writer and an art director.
