NORFATIHAH YUSOF

The journey made possible by you

Norfatihah Yusof is a multi-disciplinary visual artist whose practice spans analog photography, alternative processes, printmaking and sculpture. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in Fine Arts from Universiti Sains Malaysia. Her artistic journey is one of continuous exploration seeking to push the boundaries of creative expression through a tactile and process-driven approach. She finds beauty in the nuances and imperfections of her medium, valuing the art-making process as a vital journey of insight and growth.

Most recently, she was named a Finalist for the 2026 Young Contemporaries (Bakat Muda Sezaman) by the National Art Gallery of Malaysia. Her forthcoming site-specific project for the competition will be realized on Tuba Island, Langkawi, in April 2026.
