About HANNAH NOAH

My journey as an artist began as soon as I could pick up a pencil. Creativity surrounded me—both of my parents were artists, and expression was simply a way of life. My mother was my most profound artistic influence as a child, not only through the beauty of her own work but also because our home was filled with art books, supplies, and endless inspiration. It was in those pages that I first discovered Klimt, his intricate patterns and luminous gold captivating me even at a young age. While I wasn’t raised with an active faith, my father, having grown up in Thailand, carried with him the quiet influence of Buddhism. He never imposed it, but in subtle ways, he passed along its essence—teachings of impermanence, presence, and balance. These ideas, alongside the meditative qualities of Buddhist art, wove themselves into my artistic language, shaping the way I see the world and create within it.

My work is always evolving, embodying elements of illustration, geometry, and surrealism. Mandalas frequently appear in my art, not only for their symbolism of universal order but also because I have always been drawn to the elegance of math and geometry. There is something deeply satisfying about the precision of geometric forms and the way they reflect the natural world, from the spirals of galaxies to the delicate patterns in a flower. The intersection of art, mathematics, and spirituality fascinates me—how structure emerges from seeming chaos, how numbers can hold beauty, and how patterns repeat endlessly in nature. The feminine form is also a recurring presence in my work, a tribute to feminine strength and spirit. I find balance in the contrast between structure and fluidity, and my process itself feels like an unfolding ritual, guided by sacred visions

Wood finishes and gilding have become an essential part of my practice, a chemistry-driven craft that has taken years of experimentation to master. The alchemy of these materials fascinates me—the way gold refuses to absorb light but instead gives it back, shifting and transforming depending on its surroundings. In full daylight, it glows with warmth; in darkness, even the faintest flicker awakens it. This quality of gold—its unwavering response to light, its ability to persist even in the absence of illumination—reflects the themes I continually return to. My work explores reflection, not just in the physical sense but as an ongoing dialogue between light and shadow, presence and absence, seen and unseen. It speaks to resilience, to what endures beyond perception, to the quiet brilliance that lingers even in the darkest spaces.

 

I hope my work stirs a sense of wonder, transformation, and inspiration in those who experience it.
