Imprints extends Yasmin Watts’ sculptural practice into hand-crafted, two-dimensional works that explore presence, movement and layered space. Each painting traces figures, forms and marks charged with memory and emotion, reflecting the rhythms of body and environment.
Works begin as a trace—a line, a mark, a gesture—that folds, flows and echoes spatial relationships. Colour moves with intent: earthy tones that root, vibrant hues that rise. Textures gather and disperse, inviting the eye to linger in quiet, suspended spaces.
Every painting is made attentively, allowing the work to breathe and carry the subtle resonance of presence, movement and layered experience.

Within and Beyond
Figures and forms inhabit transitional spaces, exploring the tension between inner and outer worlds.
I paint with time
I paint with tension
Each mark recalls
what the body held
before words
Surface becomes language
Light becomes breath
Figures appear
not as monuments
but diminished
leaning
listening
