Yafit Digmi is a painter and visual storyteller whose work is rooted in emotional depth and quiet power.
She works primarily with acrylic on canvas — creating one-of-a-kind pieces that hold entire worlds inside them.
Art came to her not from education, but from survival.
As a child in foster care, in long silent hours alone in her room, without anyone to ask what she was feeling — drawing became her way to speak. A private freedom. A kind of blooming.
“No one ever asked what I was going through. So I drew.”
Yafit began creating long before her career as a tattoo artist — the lines came first. Her technique was never taught. It was felt. A raw, instinctive way to release and process everything she held inside.
She doesn’t tell viewers what to feel. She just wants them to feel something.
A connection. A smile. A pause. A sense that something in them moved.
Each painting is original and unrepeatable.
There are no copies. No prints. No recreations.
“When I see a blank canvas, I see a new story.
I don’t paint the same thing twice.”
