Razer Axon features Georgian photographer Nina Nayko, whose animated Tbilisi night scenes debut as wallpapers, blending art with digital creation.
Nina Nayko, a Georgian photographer and content creator, transforms still photographs into animated scenes, focusing on Tbilisi’s nocturnal glow and the stories behind lit windows. Starting at age 13, she began sharing her work with family before expanding to social media, where her imagery gained wider attention. Nayko’s process involves editing photos and videos to evoke emotion, using color to convey atmosphere and personal feeling in each piece.
Nayko’s debut collection on Razer Axon, titled City Lights, pays homage to Tbilisi’s architecture and evening ambiance. She describes the city’s gray tones as rich with unique atmosphere, capturing lively lights and late-night activity. Each glowing window and streetlight symbolizes fleeting moments of life, which she preserves through subtle motion and light in her animated wallpapers.
The artist balances her creative practice with digital content creation, emphasizing the challenge of staying true to her artistic vision amid performance metrics. Nayko acknowledges burnout and stresses the importance of patience, allowing inspiration to guide her work rather than external pressures. Her philosophy prioritizes authenticity over numerical validation.
Nayko highlights Razer Axon’s supportive platform and active community as key reasons for her collaboration. She plans future releases based on creative readiness, aiming to produce wallpapers that adapt well to various screen sizes. Plans include engaging with the Razer community on Discord to share and interact with fellow artists and fans.
