Fascinated, Yasmine Willems observes the man-made polder land surrounding her.
Memories without anecdote as if through a kind of sensory glasses that filter romantic perception.
The artist sees her own activity and her own emotions as part of that nature in which she arrives at a paradoxical self-experience.
The painted frame places us behind a window or on a balcony of a domestic environment and makes you aware that Yasmine Willems perceives a landscape, in which the eye can get lost endlessly, from her own frame of reference.
Yasmine's paintings speak their own language and repeatedly surprise us with the shapes that delicately fill this landscape.
Rain, wind, clouds of light and heat as material forms made to depict and make visible that which transcends visually perceptible reality.
Virtual play with repetitive structures and geometrically elaborated patterns as a reference to the natural order.
The subtle abstracting is not an analytical but a holistic approach from existing as part of this landscape.
Everything around you, everything in yourself is a system, and in a system everything is connected.
