Rayan YASMINEH

Rayan Yasmineh is a painter, a graduate of the Villa Arson with honors from the jury, and in her second year of a master's degree at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Her work is marked by the combination of an iconographic and historical background stemming from her Persian origins and an imagination straight out of contemporary Western identity. In this sense, Rayan Yasmineh's paintings present a profusion of ornamental details and traditional pictorial techniques, while also branching out through the integration of signs from the modern world: « The expression of this double iconography in my work is the manifestation of a plural, Arab and European identity that breaks with the supposed adversity of the concepts of East and West. » Rayan Yasmineh's entire body of work focuses on the concept of anachronism and is displayed in sumptuous landscapes and vibrant, shimmering colors for the pleasure of the viewer's eyes.
