"The Stillness Within" captures the essence of inner peace and spiritual harmony. The painting portrays a serene blue figure in meditative prayer, radiating calm and compassion.

About the Artist:
Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin is an artist whose work explores the intersection of identity, culture, and resilience, drawing from her rich heritage as a first-generation Haitian-American. Born in Nyack, New York, and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, Mathurin’s art is deeply influenced by the aesthetics of 80s and 90s graffiti and hip-hop culture, as well as the social and political struggles of the Black community. She uses her platform to challenge stereotypes and celebrate the strength of Black and Brown communities. Mathurin’s artistic journey began with a study of fashion design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. This helped her develop a distinctive style characterized by vibrant colors, symbolic elements, and intricate compositions. Her work has been featured in prestigious exhibitions, including at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Museum of Art in South Africa, and she has created a 52-foot mural commissioned by Adult Swim. Her collaborations with major organizations such as the NFL and ESPN highlight her commitment to social justice, including creating cover art for Colin Kaepernick's "Know Your Rights Camp." Recently, Mathurin's work has gained further recognition with her participation in the "Afro-Latinx Mixtape" exhibition at the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, where her portrait of Celia Cruz, titled "Queen of Salsa" (2024), was showcased. This piece pays homage to Cruz’s Yoruba practices and aligns with Mathurin’s dedication to celebrating Caribbean culture. (Hyperallergic) In addition, Mathurin’s artwork graces the cover of the book "Jimmy’s Faith: James Baldwin, Disidentification, and the Queer Possibilities of Black Religion" by Christopher Hunt, published by Fordham University Press in 2024. This work commemorates the centennial of James Baldwin and reflects Mathurin’s ability to capture the essence of influential figures through her art. Her most recent accolades include a mural commission by Peacock TV for Fight Night, the 2024 Soho House Creative Fellowship in New York, and The Other Art Fair's 2022 New Futures award by Saatchi Art. Mathurin continues to inspire through her passion for mentoring youth and uplifting emerging artists of color, using her art to address pressing social and cultural issues fostering meaningful dialogue and reflection. Mathurin has recently had a significant milestone—for an upcoming group exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art on October 4, 2024, where her work is part of the highly anticipated "Brooklyn Artists Exhibition."
