Noelia Towers (b. 1992) is a Chicago-based artist born and raised in Barcelona.
Her subjects of choice display the power of intimacy while investigating the relationship between pleasure and pain, trust, and love with references to larger philosophical quandaries. Towers' laborious paintings are made in a photo-realistic style. Her brush strokes are a combination of representational and light impasto, creating a quality that refers to the stark digital nature of amateur photography. The resulting paintings are unsettling portraits that relate to the artist’s own unique perspective.
Towers has exhibited her work at Woman Made Gallery and Public Works Gallery in Chicago, De Boer in Los Angeles, Stems Gallery in Paris, and Half Gallery in New York.
