Nurettin Akkaya was born in Çorum in 1970. He first encountered painting during his school years, and the appreciation his work received led him to pursue art education. After graduating from the Department of Painting and Crafts Education at Gazi University, he completed his master's degree at Hacettepe University. Following his undergraduate and graduate education, he has continued his artistic studies uninterrupted. For Akkaya, the joy of creating a new work and the happiness of expressing himself through drawing and painting are the fundamental reasons for his desire to paint.

Key themes in Akkaya's art are shaped by the effects of modern sociological life on humanity. Psychological states such as alienation, anxiety, fear, sadness, and loneliness brought about by the industrial revolution and globalization are blended with a historical process and transformed into a plastic element through a modern narrative. In his works, figures appear semi-abstracted and deformed through lines, patches, spots, and colors. This approach reflects an understanding of art in which the speed of modern times and the fragmentation of images bring abstraction along with them.

Working in the oil on canvas technique, Akkaya writes texts with texture materials on the background before starting his works. These texts serve both as a medium for pouring out one's heart and as a visual element. He continues his work with an abstract-figurative approach and a maculate understanding. Akkaya's works bring together the power of music and ritual on canvas, while inviting the viewer to a harmonious dance of colors and shapes, guiding them toward deep thoughts and emotional experiences.
