Historia biográfica
Naomi Fisher is a well-known Miami artist, who was born in 1976. She graduated with a BFA in Photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art. She had artistic residencies around the world, including at Rogaland Kunstsenter and Kunstkvarteret Lofoten in Norway, and at Cerámica Suro in Guadalajara, Mexico. Fisher also created a residency program called “Heat Exchange: Art and Infrastructure from the Tropics to the Arctic," to sponsor artistic and research exchanges for new artists in Miami and Norway who are pursuing the arts with the purpose of provoking social change.
In her creations, Fisher engages with different mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, video, and public installations. These works are inspired by mythological, surrealist, and feminist themes in contrast with traditional tropes of art, architecture, and femininity. Today, her work is part of the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Fine Art Boston, among famous collections.
Fisher has also had a long-term professional as well as personal relationship with the city of Miami, having her works reproduced at local galleries, the Art Basel, and at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. She was recently commissioned for the design of public art by Codina Partners, a real estate firm in Coral Gables.
Moreover, Fisher is the co-founder and current director and curator of the gallery and non-profit organization BFI (Bas Fisher Invitational), in Miami Design District. BFI is part of the Waterproof Miami initiative, gathering artists engaged with raising awareness about environmental issues that threaten Miami and South Florida. She is currently actively present on social media to share her creations and initiatives to foster the arts in South Florida and the work of local new artists.
