ABOUT
Yasmina Hilal is an emerging artist and full time photographer.
Hilal received her BA in Visual Media Arts, with a minor in Photography, from Emerson College. While there, she experimented heavily in the dark room, observing alternative techniques to scanning, printing, and manipulating images.
The result is a body of work that asks the viewer to linger a little longer and move through aspects of the piece. Like a snake, her art moves through visual and emotional landscapes that are both variable and static.
Yasmina Hilal has exhibited her works in group exhibitions, including A Complex Embodiment (Los Angeles, 2021), The Chemistry of Feeling (Dubai, 2021), The Cutting Studios Annual Exhibition (Doha, 2022), Dear Moon (Beirut, 2022), Solo Exhibition: I See Me In You at MENA Art Fair (Brussels, 2023), The Age of Dystopia at Dalloul Art Foundation (Beirut, 2024), and The Material Woman at Soho Revue (London, 2024).
Her work has been featured in GQ Middle East Magazine, Harper's Bazaar Arabia, AD Middle East, Condé Nast, Jdeed Magazine, It's Nice That, Mille World, Vice Arabia, WePresent, L’Orient Le Jour, Highsnobiety, Dazed Magazine, NPR, and Another Magazine.
She has shot for many fashion brands, including Maison Pyramid, Roni Helou, Yasmin Saleh, Bokja, Nasty Gal, Jeffrey Campbell, and Fashion Trust Arabia.
