garden of a soul
Excerpt from the exhibition text at Galerie Grolman
“Garden of a Soul is a body of abstract paintings that traces the relationship between inner and outer transformation. The work questions human centrality, opening a metaphysical space where Yasmine Amal reflects on the relationship between earth and human life. Sufi thought and Qurʾanic references serve as conceptual anchors, guiding the work without fixing its meaning.
Rather than positioning herself as an author, the self-taught artist understands her practice as an act of transmission, allowing nature and the divine realm to translate the work while she gives it form.”
