About the Artist & Studio

Naea Esma is a New York-based visual artist and the founder of ZEEGRIJS, a studio dedicated to wearable sculpture and collectible design.

Born from a dual heritage, Naea’s work explores the "in-between" of her Moroccan and Dutch roots. The name ZEEGRIJS (Dutch for "sea grey") captures the silver horizons of the Netherlands, while her work with sterling silver, Argentium silver, and hand-worked glass honors the storytelling traditions of Amazigh jewelry.

Every piece is handcrafted in her NYC studio through a slow, tactile process that translates internal landscapes into physical forms. By merging the boundaries of fine art and glass sculpture, Naea creates objects for those who find beauty in imperfection and the strength of raw materiality.

Based in New York City, ZEEGRIJS ships worldwide, offering unique, archival pieces that tell a story of origin, transformation, and home.
