Noah Gottlieb, a California native, was raised by a family with very diverse roots: his father’s upbringing spanned Mexico, Israel and France while his mother’s family hails from Hawaii and the West Coast. As a result, Noah grew up with exposure to the languages and cultures of Spanish, Hebrew and English.

From his earliest memories, Noah found himself immersed in the world of art, with his grandmother serving as a profound influence having worked as a professional artist most of her adult life. With an impressive career spanning five decades, she exemplified the essence of an artist. She was an influential figure who practiced meditation, followed a vegetarian lifestyle, and possessed a unique perspective on life. Noah's own artistic inclination initially emerged on the sidelines of his primary passion: basketball.

One notable artistic moment from his basketball days was during the outbreak of the Swine Flu in 2009. When a teammate fell ill and couldn't attend practice, Noah pulled a prank through creative expression. Placing a drawing in his teammate's locker, he depicted his interpretation of the Swine Flu—a vibrant green monster, evoking memories of the mischievous Grinch.

Noah’s talent on the court led him to spend four years playing professional basketball in Tel Aviv, eventually leading him to making Aliyah. After leaving the states, he returned as an adult with a deeper understanding of himself, and a newfound love for coffee. During his time away, Noah's passion for art blossomed, and he embarked on a journey of self-discovery.

Nowadays, Noah wholeheartedly embraces his identity as a "nomadic artist," placing greater emphasis on his artistic journey. This self-coined term captures his fluid process of exploring various ideas, drawing inspiration from multiple sources, and fully immersing himself in each project before embarking on the next. To help support his artistic endeavors, Noah also works as an account manager in social media marketing.

Noah's artistic process revolves around the idea that the act of creation is more important than the final outcome. While Noah embraces experimentation, he also values honesty in his art. He appreciates the imperfections, blemishes, and shaking that make each piece unique. Trusting the curves and embracing imperfections allows him to find his artistic path beyond the confines of straight lines.

Noah draws inspiration from his own life experiences and emotions, especially the imperfect nature of fatherhood. He describes fatherhood as being an “Imperfect Hero”, constantly striving to do everything possible yet feeling like it is never enough. He also draws inspiration from his late grandmother, who he often feels as though their artistic journeys are in conversation with each other.

The process of creating art is deeply intertwined with Noah's personal growth. He believes that a painting communicates with the artist, gradually revealing itself over time. He seeks to capture the unspoken vibe, describing his desire for paintings that feel like how Frank Ocean sounds. Noah's artistic practice has evolved from analytical realism to experimental and conceptual exploration. He emphasizes the importance of attuning oneself to the painting's voice and giving it the space and time to breathe.
