Yasmine Yacoubi grew up between Dresden (Germany) and Casablanca (Morocco), which gave her a wonderful opportunity to explore all kinds of diversities.

Living in many places including France (where she studied Psychology), Australia, Chile and presently South Africa expanded her sensitivity and connection to the world.

She has been painting since 1997 and continuously enhances her painting techniques, attending various international workshops including most recently the “Ecole National des Beaux-Arts” in Paris.

Yasmine finds her inspiration in her daily life, emotions being her main focus in her work: turning an overwhelming sight of blossoming prune trees into an abstract painting, and any scene that touches her could result in modern or abstract portrayal.

Living in Cape Town offers her the extraordinary opportunity to explore the beauty and complexity of nature.
