Born to a German mother and a Mexican father in Guadalajara, Mexico in the summer of 1990, Naomi A. Bork grew up in between the German and the Mexican culture.
During her early twenties she decided to fully give in to her visual creativity, which she had deepened persistently by painting and drawing from childhood onwards, and began to showcase her artwork in various exhibitions in Germany and the United States. Spending some time abroad, the United States ever since became a source of inspiration for her artistic development by being embraced by the Mexican American community.
Her paintings are intimately personal while at the same time dealing with the everlasting theme of the human condition. The often melancholic personas or alter egos, seem to be somewhere on the line between love and loss. Detailed faces who are questioning their place in the world whilst finding strength in putting their vulnerable side out there.
Inspired by timeless patterns and the aesthetics of indigenous culture, Naomi’s art seems to be a reminiscence of the past. A time, when human expression not yet was a product of hype and merely in the hand of money. When people practiced daily rituals in alignment to nature’s cycles and traditional art was accurately created at a much slower pace.
Nowadays, when time is moving fast and everything seems to be preset, she remains that searching soul, which is not bond to the present and its hypes neither to the speed of time.
Naomi A. Bork currently resides in Hamburg, Germany.
