Artist Inass Yassin

"Painting, curating, researching, public interventions, leading museums, and teaching — each project becomes transformative," says Palestinian artist Inass Yassin. "Each shall push boundaries, and of course, it will be pushed back; this is where things start to shimmer..."

"Art is about questioning, confrontation, rotation, and joy. These are my driving notions — here and everywhere else. Yet, in the here, in the texture of Palestinian art, there is so much to play with, and that is just perfect!"

"As a Palestinian artist reflecting on the social and spatial shifts in Palestinian culture since the late 1980s, I felt compelled to engage with some of them in the public sphere. In my studio, I create projects that combine painting, sculpture, video, and installation — yet painting always draws most of my energy."

"Each work, whether private or public, contributes to the evolving language of Palestinian painting. Even when confronting darkness, joy drives my hand. And now, just go paint!"
