BIO

Noëmi is a Swiss Artist based in Switzerland.

Her Artwork is like a visual diary. The strain between spiritual and matter, also ideals and perversion, Noëmi`s works present these tensions and throughout paints a vision of confusion, eroticism, and duskily colorful and hopeful. Holding the principle of polarity, she`s shows an uninhibited, provocative and direct character that document her personal process.

The common elements in her works are single parts of the body, faces and symbols that she places in her paintings in a sometimes symmetric and often dramatic way.

Picturing her own inner conflicts, processes and transformations, she translates what can not be described in words, but with the universal language of art.

She continuously is working on a street art series called "Connecting-Brains, connecting-hearts" where she travels to various locations facilitating a bond between urban locations and the magic of visual art. With the technique of using both hands at the same time while drawing, the left brain (the rational) and the right brain (the emotional) merge and make a connection. The bond brings inner balance and harmony and this concept can directly reflect into our own lives. The act of connecting sides, brings balance and inner peace. And with these attributes, we are prompted to make better decisions and have a stronger understanding of ourselves and others with great depth. The faces are genderless and are drawn to look very similar. The only difference is their facial expressions and patterns. The connecting brain depictions, reflect humanity- as we all share experiences akin to one another, but with unique character. Connecting brains, connecting humanity.

Current work, is called “I only fall in love with flowers ” a dive into the world of love as she knows it. A field of flowers is a many splendored thing. For Noëmi Manser its an allegory. Story book love is a rose tinted projection on reality. The blurred rose paintings mirror the euphoria of limerence. A general intensification of feelings that will impact on nearly all aspects of mood, and even cognition. It’s likely to be a volume control or amplifier for all aspects of love. But when limerence fades, what remains of that promise?

Since 2020 , Noëmi is focussed on the production of a series of Oil paintings. The study of her own dreams and its interpretation, the journey of the depth of her own psyche are translated in a symbolic and surrealistic way.
