Somewhere in a land of Freedom

Eclectica Contemporary is excited to be collaborating with Morgenster Wine Estate, We will be showcasing a solo presentation by Yasmine Yacoubi at the Estate

Yasmine Yacoubi is an artist with a rich and diverse background, having lived across four continents, which has deeply influenced her artistic journey. Growing up between Dresden and Casablanca, and later living in places like France, Australia, Chile, and presently South Africa, has expanded her sensitivity and connection to the world.

Yacoubi’s artistic exploration began in 1997, and since then, she has continuously honed her skills and techniques, attending various international workshops, including the “Ecole National des Beaux-Arts” in Paris. Her paintings reflect her fascination with the vitality and forces of nature, which she sees, hears, and touches around her.

Emotions are a central focus of Yacoubi’s work, and she draws inspiration from her daily life. Whether it’s the blossoming prune trees or any scene that deeply touches her, she translates these experiences into modern or abstract portrayals on canvas.

Living in Cape Town provides Yacoubi with an extraordinary opportunity to explore the beauty and complexity of nature, which serves as the primary inspiration for her abstract works. Her paintings capture the continuous transformations of her surroundings, reflecting her diverse cultural background and her profound connection to the world around her. Through her art, Yasmine Yacoubi invites viewers to share in her journey of exploration and discovery.
