The Mediums
Yasmin’s aim is not to produce reality but rather explore the relationship of colour, movement and texture and examine how they interact and complement each other. Her mediums include oil, acrylic and pastels. Whenever she feels indulgent she likes to use gold leaf.

Inspiration comes from the variety of colours and beauty found in nature and its ever changing design and seasons. Nature offers her a sense of calm and happiness and she hopes to translate it to her work and inspire a sense of calm and happiness to others.
