MANIFESTO

 Jimena embraces an incessant exploration of color, delving into its countless shades and hues, juxtaposing light and darkness in search of unraveling their deepest secrets and expressing their limitless beauty on canvas.

 Each artwork she creates is an endless study, a dialogue between her and the color itself. Through layers upon layers of exploration, she discovers bursts of color that radiate vitality and energy. Each brushstroke is a quest, each pigment blend is an adventure, and each finished piece is a testament to her dedication to this eternal journey of self-discovery.

 Her art is entirely intuitive, a manifestation of her energy and the collective experiences of her ancestors. She sees herself as a conduit, channeling their energy onto the canvas—a ritual of healing and connection.

 She finds beauty in imperfection, allowing the chaos of life to manifest on the canvas. Each piece tells a unique story, a visual poem waiting to be deciphered. She embraces the unknown, surrendering to the flow of creativity and trusting in the process.

Painting isn't just an artistic endeavor—it's a spiritual practice, a source of soulful nourishment. With each stroke, she's reminded that there's always more to explore, always more color to discover. Painting is infinite, just like life itself."
