Jasmin Siddiqui is a German artist better known as Hera. Recognized for her urban contemporary and graffiti art, she uses a variety of different mediums to create her truly emotive artworks from murals to fine art.

Coming from a half-Pakistani, half-German background, Hera grew up half-Muslim and half-Catholic.

Hera knows quite a lot about ethical differences and complications even before she went to art school, though she didn’t entirely know how to deal with those perspectives until she found graffiti. A graduate in Graphic Design, Hera’s works tend to combine traditional techniques and spray painting to portray mythological creatures and darkly comedic and satirical scenes. These images often point towards the notions of present issues with regards to political injustice and social awareness.
