The work of Nohemí Pérez focuses on the multiple conflicts that have ravaged the Catacumbo region in northern South America fromn the era of the Spanish Conquest into the present day.

Nohemí Pérez has exhibited at the Museo Amparo (Puebla, 2021); MO.CO (Montpellier, 2020); The Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, 2019); the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín (2019); the Museo de Arte Moderno de Barranquilla (2012); the Centro Cultural de la Universidad de Salamanca (Bogota, 2005); the Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena (2003) among others. Her work forms part of international institutions such as the Fundación ARCO (Madrid); the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago; the University of Chicago; Colección de Arte Banco de la República (Bogota) or the Kadist Collection (San Francisco).
