“I’m very good at table tennis… well, I used to be!”

Meet Noemi — originally from Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain, and now happily rooted in Belfast. She describes herself as an “artist to be” and brings perseverance, commitment and enthusiasm to everything she does.

She feels most alive surrounded by nature, music and creativity — recently describing the freedom of listening to Beethoven as pure joy.

When asked what she hopes people remember about her, she says: “That I always tried to help others as much as I could.” And the part of herself she’s grown to love over time? “My feet.”

Here’s something special: Noemi recently painted a portrait inspired by a PicStory Belfast story — and she’s already planning her next one. She hopes to showcase the latest painting in an exhibition in Dublin.
