About me

Bio:

Jasmyn Cheng (b. 1988, Schiedam) is a Dutch abstract artist based in Diemen, the Netherlands. Her practice explores the tension between movement and stillness, drawing inspiration from nature’s quiet transformations and inner emotional landscapes. Working intuitively with acrylics, inks, and gouache on raw canvas, she layers translucent washes and delicate marks to create compositions that feel both grounded and fluid. Her work often shifts between bold, expressive gestures and serene organic shapes—reflecting a personal journey of reconnection, identity, and inner calm. Through her process, Jasmyn invites viewers into a contemplative space, where color, shape, and texture become meditations on time, change, and presence.

Artist Statement:

My work is an ongoing conversation between the natural world and the inner self. Rather than depict landscapes, I explore how the rhythms of nature mirror emotional states—how both are shaped by unseen forces, subtle shifts, and time. Some pieces emerge through bold movement: wet-on-wet layers, sweeping gestures, and unconventional tools like brushes, brooms, or sprays. Others form through slow, meditative stacking of shapes—like stones just touching—balancing stillness and connection.

I work primarily on raw canvas, allowing paint to seep, stain, and settle freely. This fluid approach mirrors the way I explore identity—unfixed, evolving, and layered. In a world that urges constant motion, my work offers moments to pause, reflect, and ask: Who am I beneath all this noise? Who do I want to become?
