Jasmin Pannu is a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist who creates visual stimuli through her works in illustrations, mural paintings, body art and custom artworks. Her 'Wildlife Collection' features awe-inspiring animals depicted with ink and acrylic patterns inspired by African and Indian cultures. Each piece in the series is hyper-detailed by hand over the course of 10-30 hours. The resulting artwork is an animal that is symbolic of the values, core characteristics and positive energy that it brings to its space. Through the Wildlife Collection, Jasmin hopes to evoke themes of connectivity, an emotional affinity towards nature and personal power. Having sold over 200 prints worldwide from the collection, Jasmin has been recognized as a Featured Artist by the likes of Sharpie, HuffPost Arts, Inkbox and The Living Arts Centre.
