Jazmin van Breda (b.2001, Sussex) lives and works in London. Having graduated from Central Saint Martins with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art in 2023, she specialises in oil painting and sculpture. Her focus lies within interiors, architecture and the liminal spaces we inhabit unconsciously. 

Coming from a background of ceramics and carpentry with a penchant for crossing mediums, Jazmin has created and re-envisioned interiors that heighten our understanding of how we interact with the objects around us. Constantly growing her knowledge of material, shape, and form, she has been able to develop her craft in intuitive yet inquisitive approaches.

These methods are particularly exemplified within Jazmin’s painting practice, where she focuses on light and its form-altering effects in enclosed spaces. She has consequently honed a talent for capturing a familiar atmosphere before combining it with a quiet eeriness of absence. The connection she has to the subjects of her paintings translates onto the canvas through her careful and soft style.

Jazmin’s paintings focus on objects that form unconscious choreographies and habits in our daily lives. Through her paintings she gives these objects a focus, highlighting their shape and elevating their status from the mundane to the realms of art. Figures tend to be absent, but the trace of movement patterns as well as daily rituals remain present.
