Yasmine Perreten Bio
Born and raised in Switzerland, Yasmine grew up in a family where art was celebrated, with some members achieving renown as artists. As a child, painting and drawing were occasional pastimes, but they gave no indication of the transformative role art would one day play in her life. During a particularly challenging period, Yasmine discovered the “painting by feelings” method—a deeply intuitive approach that prioritizes feelings and intuition over technical precision. This method opened a new avenue for self-expression, becoming both a source of healing and a powerful means of self-discovery. The experience was so profound that she began teaching the technique, sharing its transformative and empowering potential with others.
Yasmine’s life has been defined by her courage to embrace new beginnings and explore the unknown. After relocating to Egypt, the land of her ancestors, she continued to paint and teach. However, life’s challenges soon intervened, and a severe burnout left her physically and emotionally drained for years. Art remained her guiding light, serving as a steadfast anchor, helping her reconnect with herself, rediscover joy, and reignite her creative spirit during turbulent times.
Today, Yasmine resides with her husband on their picturesque farm in Egypt, surrounded by Arabian horses and lush palm trees. This idyllic setting, deeply rooted in nature and simplicity, offers endless inspiration for her artistic journey. Art has become central to her life, a sanctuary where she explores emotions, ideas, and stories. By blending the intuitive “painting by feelings” method with more academic techniques, she creates works that reflect her evolving journey. For Yasmine, art is more than a practice—it is a way of life, a means of continuously discovering and celebrating the beauty of both the external world and her inner self. Through her creations, she seeks to inspire others to uncover their own paths to joy, peace, and connection.
Celebrating diversity in both her art and her life, Yasmine brings curiosity and openness to every creation, embracing experimentation as a driving force. She finds joy in exploring a wide range of mediums, techniques and styles, weaving them seamlessly into her artistic journey. Drawn to contrasts, she balances abstraction with realism, soft pastel hues with bold, vibrant tones, and moments of calm with bursts of energy. Animals, a cherished part of her life, are a recurring and meaningful theme in her work, embodying grace, strength, and a profound connection to nature.
Each piece Yasmine creates is more than an artwork—it is a reflection of her personal journey, an invitation for others to explore their own paths. For her, art is not just a craft but an adventure: an ever-evolving pursuit of beauty, meaning, and the endless possibilities that life has to offer.
Artist Statement
Art, to me, is more than a visual expression—it is a sanctuary, a space where I disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with my inner self. In this quiet stillness, I move beyond vulnerability and resistance, discovering joy and light.
My work explores the dynamic interplay of color, movement, and emotion, weaving together pieces that resonate on both deeply personal and universal levels. Each piece is an open invitation—an opportunity to pause, reflect, and embark on a personal exploration of meaning, connection, and beauty.
I thrive on exploring diverse approaches—transitioning between abstract and figurative work or blending the two. One of my favorite subjects is painting animals, where I aim to infuse each piece with unique energy and life. I am particularly drawn to the interplay of pastel tones with hints of vibrant colors or even fluorescent accents, creating dynamic and engaging visual experiences.
While deeply personal, my work is not just about my journey—it is an invitation for others to embark on their own. Each brushstroke offers a doorway to self-discovery, a moment of wonder, and a space where emotions, memories, and imagination collide.
