Yasmine Iskander is a 25-year-old abstract artist. She works primarily with acrylics on canvas and on paper.
Her art is passionate and direct. It captures the vibrancy of her extraordinary life journey and her personal interpretation of the world around her.
Yasmine prefers acrylics, which are particularly suited to her colorist talent. She loves to paint on large canvases or paper as larger surfaces best enable her to express her creativity and boldness.
Over the last 4 years, Yasmine has participated in several juried exhibitions including in Viridian Artists Gallery and Manhattan International Arts, in New York, The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, in New Jersey, Hamilton Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland, the Athenaeum Gallery, the Torpedo Factory, Del Ray Artisans, and MPAartfest in Virginia.
In 2018, she received the Second Prize in the 2018-19 Kennedy Center VSA Emerging Young Artist national program. Her piece “Dragon” toured the country as part of an exhibition entitled Detour which culminated at the Kennedy Center Hall of States. An image of this winning artwork was also part of a public art installation at the Kennedy Center’s REACH campus.
Yasmine has been featured in Good Morning Washington (WJLA), Elan Magazine, Fairfax County Public Schools YouTube, the University of Minnesota-Institute of Community Integration Impact Magazine, and several local newspapers.
Her collectors are in several states in the US, in Germany, Spain, Italy, France and in Latin America and include individuals and large corporations, such as Amazon, Google, Carr Company, Citizens Bank, Fifth Third Bank.
