Noëmi, a Rotterdam-based interdisciplinary artist, vocalist, and writer, graduated from AKV St. Joost Fine Arts in 2021.
Her creative repertoire spans various mediums, including sculpture, song, poetry, and textiles.
Known for constructing delicate pieces that evoke a sea of emotions, her work delves into themes of longing, healing, connection, and the complexities of human relationships.

Fusing elements of neo-romanticism and hyper-pop, her art is characterized by its dreamlike, ethereal quality, always imbued with emotional depth and wonder.
Noëmi's exploration of interpersonal relationships, attachment styles, and the healing process from psychosomatic pain is both introspective and universal.

Drawing inspiration from popular culture, through the role of observer and as an participant, she infuses her work with contemporary influences, including lyrics and social media, as well as memes and societal trends. Noëmi's engagement with sociology enriches her creative process, offering insights into the intricacies of human connection and love.

In addition to her visual art, Noëmi is a prolific songwriter, lyricist, and storyteller, reflecting on culture and societal phenomena through her work. Whether crafting melodies or penning reflective prose, she seeks to unravel the mysteries of existence and explore the pursuit of a meaningful life in the modern age.
