Jasmine Dulay is an Indian printmaker who received her Bachelor of Fine arts from Florida Atlantic university. She is currently pursuing a post baccalaureate to further her artistic practice and prepare for graduate school. 

Jasmine grew up in a traditional Indian community where individuality was rejected and conformity was expected. Growing up, she adhered to these practices while suppressing her interest in the obscure and macabre. Through her art she has turned the taboo into beauty, changing the connotations these controversial ideas hold and reclaiming her Indian identity through archetypal depictions and symbology. 

Artist Statement

My work focuses on printmaking techniques including screenprint, woodcut, and intaglio. My work is primarily driven by an intuitive approach to making which highlights subconscious and archetypal symbolic language and visuals. The figures, compositions, and symbols that arise from this process of making are the vehicle for my inner exploration. I use universally understood human and animal archetypes such as the feline, the devil, the feminine damsel, and the masculine protector to showcase narratives and relationships that viewers can relate their own experiences to. I draw on the aesthetic influences of my Indian culture, specifically the deities and black magic referenced in Hinduism and Tantra to create my own mythological narratives through print.
