Tali de Noronha is an abstract artist of vast heritage based in London. Her practice centres on the complexities of identity and the emotional residue of memory.

 

Through painting, she investigates the "emotional inheritance" that moves across generations—forms of experience that cannot be conveyed through language, but emerge through colour, texture, and the material process itself.

 

Driven by the conviction that life is unbearable without the creation of unparalleled worlds, she uses painting to construct new narratives for navigating the weight of life's trauma. 

 

Currently pursuing an MFA art and Humanities at the Royal College of Art, de Noronha treats painting as a site of care—a surface where emotional strata are held, and where recovery can begin to shimmer through the layers. 

 

Her process is physical and intuitive; she layers, scrapes, and rebuilds the surface, mimicking the way memory is constructed and obscured over time.

 

Central to this approach is her distinctive "Rhythmic Stick Marking" technique. Using bamboo and wooden sticks, she grounds her abstract expressionism in pure materiality. Each stroke is an act of movement and memory, creating dynamic, tactile layers that question the fluidity of belonging.
