Biography

Born in Rome and now based in Novara, Italy, most of Yasmine’s early memories are of painting and pony rides; she sat on a horse’s back before she knew how to walk.

She studied art history, under tutor Stewart Roberts, with the London Art College in the UK, completing two distance learning courses between 2016 and 2018. Apart from this, she hasn’t had any formal art training, learning the craft by means of trial-and-error, advice given by practising artists, and books — her all-time favourite being Animal Painting and Anatomy by William Frank Calderon.

She works mainly in graphite, watercolour, and acrylics, favouring delicate lines and a limited colour palette.

Her interests include horse riding, photography, natural history, and behavioural sciences.
