About Yasmin

Meet Yasmin Akhtar Roona

Yasmin Akhtar (Roona) is a visual artist weaving her story from the heart of New York. Her creative journey began at the Institute of Fine Arts, Dhaka University, in the vibrant land of Bangladesh.

Deeply inspired by nature, Yasmin draws from its colors, rhythms, and silences—elements that shape her artistic vision. This intimate connection with the natural world is often reflected in her work, brought to life through the expressive language of mixed media.

To Yasmin, art is a quiet companion—a source of joy and beauty that speaks directly to the heart. Her hope is that each piece finds a home where it can be loved, shared, and cherished.

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

Thomas Merton Author
