Noemi Iglesias Barrios

Noemi Iglesias (Asturias 1987)
An artist who defines herself through her work with sculptural mediums and long-form performance formats, she is a clear example of contemporary nomadism: since 2009, Noemi has lived and worked in Greece, England, Belgium, Hungary, China, and Korea.
In 2019, she received her Master of Arts degree in Porcelain from the Tainan National University of the Arts, where she studied contemporary ceramic practices thanks to the ROC Taiwan Scholarship from the Taiwanese government.
Her work has been seen at the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, the European Commission's DG Connect, the iMAL Center for Digital Culture and Technologies in Brussels, the Electron Festival in Switzerland, the Gimhae Clayarch Museum in Korea, the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art in Japan, the Yingge Ceramics Museum and MOCA in Taiwan, LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial and the Espacio Líquido Gallery in Gijón.
Media outlets such as ABC, Libération, China Times, Elemental, and Arte al Límite have written about his work.
Noemi is currently researching urban cobalt extraction and recycling processes within the sculpture department of the University of Fine Arts of Lisbon thanks to a grant from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) of Portugal.
This project is also supported by the "Culture Moves Europe" scholarship program, the Cultural and Scientific Council of the Spanish Embassy in Belgium, and PXL-MAD University in Hasselt.
In 2024, she had her first solo exhibition, “Love me Fast,” at the Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid, curated by Rocío de la Villa.
