Yvonne Abwini – Artist

My Path

Understanding, accompanying, and feeling life in all its facets – this runs like a common thread through my journey. After my training and work as a preschool teacher and nurse, as well as the wonderful role of being a mother of three, I turned my focus entirely to art.

Today I work as a full-time artist. I gained my academic foundation in painting at a private art school. The deep experiences from working with people – the awareness of the fragility and the strength of the human psyche – flow unmistakably today into the gaze and the depth of my portraits.

Techniques & Materials

My art emerges through the interplay of various media and techniques, which I employ based on the mood and message of each work.

Oil & Acrylic

Oil and acrylic paints on canvas form the foundation of my works – for deep, luminous colors and soft transitions that breathe life into my portraits.

Mixed Media

I combine my paints with other artistic media such as coffee, charcoal, and ballpoint pen, giving my works a tactile, living dimension.

Portrait & Figure

At the heart of my work stands the human being – the gaze, the mood, and the depth that a portrait can tell.
