Who is Jazmine Nieves?
My artwork explores the duality , serenity, joy and the chaos of life. I communicate this through the use of intense saturated colors, as well as intricate patterns and abstract, yet figurative energetic forms . Anyone that knows me well would day that even in the darkest of times, my light radiates from within and is contagious to others.
I am a multidisciplinary artist. In my private art practice, my work includes acrylic and oil figure painting, high quality makeup art, creating innovative jewelry out of crystals mixed with copper, street art such as murals made out of spray paint, writing , singing, and dancing .
In my academic art practice, my art work consists of Printmaking, Sculpture, Figure drawing, Stop motion, Photography and Painting on fabric. Although my academic practice is based on prompts envisioned by instructors, I intentionally embed my work with themes of my life as well as aspects the African diaspora. In addition to that I also include my love for movement, Dance, exercise, Spiritual awakenings and themes sexual identity.
My life's work both in and out of the studio is to use my creative, intuitive abilities, as well as story telling to help people explore themselves. I want to help people understand how their inner child relates to their present day selves . I aim to start discussions regarding what deep self understanding, self acceptance and courage looks like. I strongly believe that discussing those aspects of ourselves can help make positive political and social changes on a larger scale.
I believe that working with multiple mediums is like speaking multiple languages, it can be integral in the communication of creation. I do this with both with myself and my audience.
My long term artistic goal is to have a studio practice in which I can employ and uplift other artists from all ages and walks of life at a high rate so we can bring our visions to life on a larger scale . I have so many big ideas and not enough time to do them all on my own. I am really inspired by the team work that I have seen many established artists using to bring their visions to life. Another reason that I intend to bring on other artists is to have more time to spend on my health, on learning new skills, on teaching , on connecting with my community while cultivating deep, meaningful, and constructive relationships.
