Biography

Yasemin Mejia is a multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, originally from Turkey. Working across watercolor, oil painting and ceramics, she blends surrealism and expressionism, using vibrant color, organic forms and natural patterns to explore motherhood, memory, identity and nature.

She graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Her years in New York City and Mexico City shaped her eye and left a lasting mark, bringing new cultural layers to her palette and imagery.

Her work grows from personal experience and the world around her: textures, bold patterns and forms drawn from nature. For Yasemin, making art is essential, a daily outlet and her clearest way of speaking.

Artist statement

For me, creating art is not only a form of expression but a vital part of my existence. My work fuses surrealism and expressionism, using vibrant color and natural patterns to explore the complexities of motherhood, memory and identity. It draws on my Turkish roots and my years in New York City and Mexico City, and invites viewers to find their own connections to memory, identity and nature.
