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.

The concept of the book ‘101 Contemporary Artists and More…’ is built on the idea of showcasing diverse voices in contemporary art from all over the world. It’s a curated collection of artists who are actively shaping today’s visual landscape.

The platform that Collect Art has built through this project offers artists a unique opportunity to share their work with a global audience and, more importantly, to tell the stories behind their creations. The book doesn’t just feature the art itself; it explores the conceptual and emotional layers that bring the works to life. That is what really drew me to this project.

For this edition, Yazdani contributed The Essence, a series of acrylic paintings exploring humanity’s interconnectedness. Through abstraction, the collection reflects on emotions, identity, and shared experiences, emphasising the fundamental connections between individuals beyond race, culture, and background. Inspired by Yazdani’s poem, We are all light, we are all shadow, we are all colour, we are all rainbow, the series incorporates the human face as a central element, symbolising universality.

Acrylics remain Yazdani’s preferred medium, allowing for layered textures and colours that convey the depth of human emotion. Through The Essence, the artist continues to explore the beauty of diversity and the unity within human experience.

Being featured in 101 Contemporary Artists and More… provides an opportunity to engage with a global audience and participate in a broader conversation about the role of art in society. Yazdani acknowledges the importance of such platforms in amplifying artistic voices and fostering dialogue.

The book is available on the Collect Art website, offering readers a curated insight into contemporary artistic perspectives from around the world.
