“As an artist and hairdresser, braids have been an essential part of my life I use to express myself. In this piece, I am honoring the art of braiding and its significance to the Black community.”
Born in Ghana, Jasmin-Nicole is a Canadian visual artist. Jasmin is a graduate of OCAD University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Drawing and Painting program. Her art practice focuses on contemporary representations of Black womanhood and West African culture and aesthetics through figurative art, abstraction, and sacred African braiding practices.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I create large-scale portraits and abstract dreamscapes inspired by memories, photographs, and traditional African hairstyles. In my artwork, I explore themes of spirituality, community, and nature using a combination of shapes, patterns, textures, and vibrant colors.
