Working between weaving, photography, watercolour, mobiles, and origami, Yasmin Dubrau creates abstract landscapes. Drawing patterns and shapes from environmental and architectural elements, her work loosens fixed viewpoints and blurs boundaries.
Having lived for several years in Japan, Dubrau’s watercolours reference traditions of ink painting and calligraphy, where swift brushstrokes do not define edges but evoke the essence of form and space. Planes of translucent colour build upon one another, creating compositions with depth and quiet intensity.
Central to her practice is a cyclical understanding of time, not as a straight line, but as a circle, a spiral, a breath. Her work responds to seasonal cycles and the ephemeral rhythms of nature, interweaving past, present, and future, and the human and non-human. In their stillness, they make visible the continuous movement underlying all things.
Born in Motueka, Yasmin Dubrau studied painting at Unitec in Auckland and lived in Miharu, Fukushima, Japan from 2007 – 2011. She has been based in Heretaunga Hastings for the past twelve years. Dubrau has exhibited nationally and internationally, with notable shows at Objectspace, 2014, and Art Attic Gallery, 2024. She also spent seven years managing and teaching at the Hōhepa Rose Weavery in Hawke’s Bay.
