Yasaman describes her art as inspired by nature – being both whimsical and vibrant, while expressing different emotions to inspire her audiences to discover their imagination, feelings, interaction and relationship with the natural environment.

She told Buenos Aires Street Art: “I like to tickle people’s imagination so they really think about what they see (in my murals). Is it a horse, is it a cow? They can just try to think what it might be.”
