Naomi Lisiki is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn. Originally born and raised in the French West Indies, Naomi aims to express a sensation, to encapsulate the experience of living into the painting form. Inspired by systems of nature, she expresses the inherent qualities of life that she felt language could not encapsulate. Working within abstraction, she channels her emotions to explore ideas around womanhood, spirituality and philosophy. In this way, she is able to express her “internal landscapes”, proposing a new narrative of her life and identity as a woman from the Caribbean diaspora. As our personal histories are entangled within larger structures, her abstraction comes from sensations, sensations that are shaped by collective memory, by ancestral history, by erasure and reconstruction. Resembling cyanotypes or alternative printing processes, the colors and delicate shapes in her paintings may remind one of landscapes, bodies, repeated shapes in nature and are meant to act as visual memories.
