Belliisi Seenemaa is an Estonian artist working with textiles, photography, and installation. Her practice often uses primal, natural materials and traditional, nature-based techniques.

Seenemaa is interested in capturing emotions and sensory experiences through materiality, while continuously experimenting with natural processes and techniques.

In her earlier practice, Seenemaa was exploring meanings in symbolism and ritual objects.

Seenemaa studied decoration and styling at Tartu Art School and textile design at Pallas University of Applied Sciences. She has furthered her studies in Berlin, focusing on e-textiles and the integration of technology with traditional textile practices. In France, she studied archaic leather working techniques and the making of ritual objects. And in Estonia, she has researched and practised traditional methods of processing plant-based fibres and natural dyes.

Alongside her formal art education, Seenemaa has studied transpersonal psychology and hypnotherapy and trained as a breathwork therapist. These fields inform her interest in perception, emotional states, embodied experience, and the relationship between the material and the intangible.
