ART

In an effort to preserve its life, a living thing will prioritize creating its own new rules for existing. JASMINFIRE explores that freedom through creating aurally unified abstract, non-objective energy paintings and textile works. In 2009 painting became an intensive, self guided healing practice for releasing suppressed emotions (joy, anger) after decades without a safe space to process overwhelmingly traumatic experiences throughout her child and young adulthood. On canvas is where joy and intimacy are safe.

Also visually inspired by nature’s chaotic beauty and lawlessness, Jasmin’s painting style imitates these patterns. She presents a range of instinct-driven minimalist meditations and detailed, calculated works that are balanced regardless of orientation, much like color sudoku. Each piece, ranging from miniature works to canvases over 7’’ (2.1m) is a visual composition about the honest and vulnerable beauty of traumatic recovery found in both people and nature.

She experiments with film, photography, and live music in non-traditional ways to create small intimate experiences that evoke raw emotion from the audience.

In the past decade her paintings have slowly garnered attention from fine art lovers, curators, and fashion brands. She has debuted at PULSE Art Fair, ArtHamptons, and a solo exhibit at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery in LES. Jasminfire is currently exploring even larger format canvas paintings, taking commissions for and selling exclusively to private collectors. Jasmin’s first international multimedia exhibit, OBSIDIAN, is at Centrum Berlin, in June 2022 (live performance and film).

MUSIC

JASMINFIRE is a solo music artist and a seasoned Grammy nominated string arranger known for expressive violin, viola, cello, and vocal compositions.

ARTISTRY
As a performer, dimensional playing style ranges from minimally light and trancelike meditation to fiery, wild and provocative - a sound that could only be influenced by living through tough seasons. She studied music production and engineering at Berklee College of Music in Boston before moving to New York, where she performed her original compositions at the White House, the Guggenheim, Lincoln Center, the MoMA, PAMM (Miami), ATL Jazz Fest, NYC Winter Jazz Fest, and the Roots Picnic.

Baby Jazz EP was Jasminfire’s first solo release, a self-produced blend of meditative compositions and storytellings about love and death; the project features her own production, violin and viola string arrangements, and hauntingly sweet vocals, and every song sounds completely different.
