Nazif Lopulissa is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is deeply rooted in experiences of in-betweenness, migration, and cultural hybridity. Working across sculpture, painting, textiles, and installation, he explores what it means to exist between places, histories, and identities. This “in-between” state is not treated as a lack, but as a generative space from which new forms, meanings, and narratives can emerge. Drawing on childhood memories, ancestral stories, and diasporic heritage, Lopulissa weaves personal and collective histories into an organic formal language. His work engages critically with themes such as decolonisation, multiculturalism, and cultural legacy, while maintaining a strong sensibility toward lived experience. Over the past years, his practice has evolved from a predominantly abstract visual vocabulary toward more narrative-driven and autobiographical work. Through this shift, he questions how abstract forms can communicate across cultural boundaries and how storytelling can be embedded within material, gesture, and process. His works often conceal and reveal fragments of family history in poetic ways, inviting viewers into layered and intimate encounters. Lopulissa is known for his experimental approach to materials, including the use of bleach on textiles, and for his willingness to take risks across media. His work has been shown, among others, at the Glass Museum Leerdam, CODA Apeldoorn, the Moluccan Historical Museum, and during Unfair, and is held in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, the AkzoNobel Art Foundation, and KPMG. Lopulissa was also part of #39 To Be Determined, for which he relocated his studio to Buro Stedelijk. Currently, he is a resident at the Rijkskademie in Amsterdam.
