Yasmin Ezzideen experiences her process of creation as ritual healing within her own connection and sense of “oneness” to the earth. Creating portals into alternate dimensions as she draws inspiration from Mysticism and Holistic Shamanic healing practices. Her work currently explores themes of the goddess and the rise of the Divine Feminine. Dismantling imbalanced patriarchal archetypes in our modern world, and the “re-wilding” of women in relation to their connection to the natural and spiritual world in her charcoal and gold leaf drawings. Often she  re – imagines historical paintings depicting representations of goddesses from Greek mythology in her own re-wilded, witchy, earthy woman style – shifting the image of perfect porcelain skinned goddess to a more visceral, flawed yet sensual human embodiment of the goddess archetype.

“The Divine Feminine is the feminine aspect of the divine power that connects and binds the Earth. She is the Goddess Energy which exists in all of us”

She has a unique multi-cultural view of the world as a Lebanese/Sierra Leonian – German woman who was born in Belgium and moved to South Africa when she was 14 years old. She currently resides in Cape Town as a full time artist.

She is a multi disciplinary artist, with a background in sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, music, taxidermy and traditional hand-poke tattooing. In 2013 – she graduated with a distinction from the Michaelis School of Fine Art majoring  in Sculpture.
