Yasmina Alexandra Nysten, Finnish/Lebanese artist, attended ALBA, the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts, in Beirut, receiving a BFA in Visual Arts in 2009, an MFA in Digital Arts, and  in 2013 an MFA in 3D Animation from Pratt Institute in New York City.  She has been pursuing a career in visual arts, mainly painting, since her graduation.  She has exhibited her work in multiple shows like “Nafas Beirut” (Espace SD),“Young Collectors Auctions” at the Ayyam gallery in Dubai, “From Beirut Art and Design scene” at Piasa in Paris, “Jabal” at the Fransabank in Beirut.

 

In 2009 her solo show “The Seven Minute Special” at Kleio Projects in New York City, consisted of large format works on paper depicting individuals in a contorted figurative style. Her work still remains faithful  to this asymmetrical experiment conducted on the human form. 

Nysten has attempted to adapt this stylistic language into a theoretical axiom, so that the thought may experience the same anamorphic properties as her jagged  line. Her solo show "Live the crying room" that took place in 2019 at Tornado Things  Gallery in Brooklyn NY comprised of large format paintings and works on paper that remained faithful to this principle.

Yasmina Alexandra Nysten, artiste finlandaise/libanaise, a étudié à l'ALBA, l'Académie libanaise des beaux-arts, à Beyrouth. Elle a obtenu une licence en arts visuels en 2009, une maîtrise en arts numériques et, en 2013, une maîtrise en animation 3D à l'Institut Pratt de New York.  Depuis son diplôme, elle poursuit une carrière dans les arts visuels, principalement la peinture.  Elle a exposé son travail dans de nombreuses expositions telles que « Nafas Beirut » (Espace SD), « Young Collectors Auctions » à la galerie Ayyam à Dubaï, « From Beirut Art and Design scene » à Piasa à Paris, « Jabal » à la Fransabank à Beyrouth.

 

En 2009, son exposition personnelle « The Seven Minute Special » à Kleio Projects, à New York, consistait en des œuvres grand format sur papier représentant des individus dans un style figuratif contorsionné. Son travail reste fidèle à cette expérience asymétrique menée sur la forme humaine. 

Nysten a tenté d'adapter ce langage stylistique en un axiome théorique, afin que la pensée puisse expérimenter les mêmes propriétés anamorphiques que sa ligne déchiquetée. Son exposition personnelle « Live the crying room » qui a eu lieu en 2019 à la Tornado Things Gallery à Brooklyn NY comprenait des peintures de grand format et des œuvres sur papier qui restaient fidèles à ce principe.
