PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF A DISTINGUISHED COUPLE

ABOUT THE WORK

The works of contemporary visual artist Yasmin Sison are full to the brim with pieces of memory and nostalgia. In her early years as an artist, Sison pursued Abstract Expressionism as a style and medium, but gradually shifted towards representational imagery after discovering its unique ability to capture emotional and psychological states. Her experience as a teacher influenced her interest in capturing these mental and metaphysical moods and predicaments through the mundane yet multifaceted reality of youth. The unique and humbling nature of children lends her piece a blissful sense of naivete that presents itself as nostalgic rather than ignorant. In a way, by focusing on the life’s first steps, Sison shows us a fleeting glimpse of purity and perfection.
