Nasim Yazdani Featured in The FLUX Review, Edition 12

Nasim Yazdani has been featured in The FLUX Review, Edition 12—an international magazine known for showcasing voices shaping today’s contemporary art scene.

Nasim Yazdani Featured in The FLUX Review, Edition 12, Cover, available at: https://www.thefluxreview.com/store/. 

This edition includes a full-length interview with the artist, exploring the evolution of her practice, her commitment to social responsibility, and the deeper philosophical questions that underpin her abstract work.

In the interview, Yazdani reflects on her early curiosity for art, sparked in childhood and later enhanced through academic study and cross-cultural experiences. She discusses her journey from realistic portraiture to an abstract visual language that examines human emotion, identity, and the unseen connections that bind the whole universe. Her current series, The Essence, embodies these themes through layered acrylic works that probe the idea of unity in diversity.

Yazdani’s style—described as a fusion of expressive realism and abstraction—uses textured palette knife techniques to evoke both movement and stillness. She views art as a form of social activism, a space to challenge fixed identities and artificial borders. Her work celebrates cultural hybridity while encouraging a collective reflection on shared human experience.

The feature also introduces readers to her recent sub-series, The Essence: Shadows and Symphony of Features, which explore dualities such as light and dark, unity and individuality, offering profound meditations on resilience, growth, and transformation.

Through this work, Nasim Yazdani explores the interconnectedness of the world, expressed through the dual representation of the human face. She believes that human beings, as individuals, are deeply intertwined with global events and that their thoughts and words are constantly shaped by the world around them. At the same time, each individual plays a crucial role in shaping that world in return.

For those who may not know much about Nasim Yazdani, she considers Earth to be her country. Her artistic journey has always been guided by a desire to be an agent of social transformation, spreading a message of peace and unity in diversity. She discovered her passion for art at a young age and pursued non-formal education at various art institutes before moving on to formal fine art education. This foundation has allowed her to build a fulfilling career in the visual arts and illustration.

Throughout her career, Nasim has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both locally and internationally. These opportunities have enabled her to share her perspective on the interconnectedness of humanity and the beauty found in our differences. While acrylic paint is Nasim’s preferred medium, she also enjoys working with coloured pencil, dry pastel, and watercolour.

Nasim Yazdani’s work primarily features abstract portraits and figures, but she does not confine herself to a single style or method. Instead, she finds strength in blending various styles and colour palettes, which allows her to further explore the concept of unity in diversity. Currently, Nasim is working on several ongoing projects, including Symphony of Features and The Essence.

The selected piece, Faces #996, is part of the collection, called Faces. Here is Nasim Yazdani’s artist statement for the collection:
‘I perceive life through the myriad of faces I encounter. In each expression, I seek the embodiment of Unity in Diversity. My paintings serve as a vessel for others to experience the emotions and visions that have stirred within me. Pure beauty transcends boundaries of nationality or constraint; it knows no borders. We are all inherently beautiful. My artistic expression fluctuates between realism and abstraction. Commencing from a point of realism, my creations gradually transcend into the realm of abstract art. This intentional fusion embodies my quest for unity in diversity, permeating every facet of my work.’
