Jasmin Yli-Huhtala (b. 1991) is a painter and sculptor based in Finland.
"My works navigate the boundary between abstract and figurative art. The complexity of the human mind deeply inspires me, and particularly the human subconscious offers an intriguing perspective in creation. My working method is intuitive, and I am fascinated by very unusual color combinations that eventually create a complex harmony. It keeps creation interesting and unpredictable.”

"The expressive language of these works draws on the figurative tradition of ancient Greek sculpture while embracing the raw, tactile qualities and expressive potential of ceramic as a material. Rooted in cultural history, the sculptures navigate the landscape of human emotion with remarkable sensitivity, conveying both an intense sense of presence and an unflinching vulnerability. Their human scale invites an intimate encounter, while the recurring motif of the mask encourages reflection on the nature of the realities that lie beneath outward appearances. The artist demonstrates a confident command of the medium, supported by an exceptionally refined craftsmanship and a distinctive sculptural hand."

"Jasmin Yli-Huhtala’s ceramic sculptures have garnered attention for their unique blend of abstract and figurative styles, expressing the layered complexity of the human mind and subconscious. Her work is bold yet nuanced, reflective of an intuitive process that allows color, form, and texture to meld into a distinct visual language. Her skill in balancing vivid and unusual color combinations, with the flow of human figures showcases her mastery of color harmony and provides a fresh perspective that captivates the viewer.
The strength of Yli-Huhtala's portfolio lies in her ability to balance abstraction with figurative elements. Her exploration of colors, vibrant yet sometimes restrained, complements her theme, making the painting an arresting yet delicate piece. This combination of conceptual depth and aesthetic appeal makes her work memorable and distinct."
