Enikő Tomay (b. 2000, Budapest) is a Hungarian-born multidisciplinary artist living and working in London. Having completed her BA Hons in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 2024, she has since been exploring the intersection of textiles and ceramics.  

Working primarily across tufting, rug-punching and ceramics, Enikő uses drawing and writing to feed the initial stages of her process. Rooted in folklore and superstition, her practice laces the threads of her heritage with her upbringing in England and draws on elements of identity and storytelling. Strings of words and fleeting phrases gathered from encounters, media and literature guide the direction of her work, often coming into play when titling finished pieces. Focusing on tactility, the delicate brutality of clay and wool becomes a language of contrasts. Here, the real and mythical intertwine; an uncanny realm where strange beings stir beneath woven surfaces. Through softness and rigidity, the stitched and bound, Enikő conjures stories of transformation, anthropomorphism, and blurs the boundaries between the tangible and imagined.
