BIO VERSIONS 1-3

BIO 1

Emma Lomy is a Finnish multidisciplinary artist, specialising in music, poetry, essays, theatre, dance, photography and performance art. Lomy’s works explore interlacing minimalistic impressionism into a study of the aesthetic acceptance of the beautiful through various means of art.

Although trained as a professional singer, kantele player and composer, Lomy has begun fusing her texts into music and movement, thus having delved into the world of performance art. Lomy practices her fields of art also strictly individually – performing as a musician, both solo and with bands such as Vuolas and Folk Big Band, and publishing her writing and photography in addition to her theatre and dance performances.

Lomy is a charismatic performer who instantly fills up the stage with enthralling energy and, moreover, charmingly delicate tenderness. Professionals of singing from around the world describe her voice as a rarity; Lomy’s voice is exceptionally bright and expressive, stunning both professionals and international audiences. Lomy is also a dexterous improviser and has developed a predilection for polyrhythms, both of which are common phenomena in her compositions.

The affinity for impressions is always visible in Lomy’s work, be it literature or music, movement or performance. Her essays and poetry are rich in vibrant imagery and photography filled with unanswered questions, silent emotions staring back at the viewer. Lomy is a questioner of the definition of ‘the beautiful’, also an ever-present subject in her art.

Lomy has won competitions in music, writing, dance and theatre, and she was admitted to the renowned music university Sibelius Academy exceptionally early, before having graduated from a Finnish high school of performing arts.
