p.s. currently re-archiving works








Rooted in quiet inquiry, Jimena’s work reflects on the tension between permanence and impermanence. Her practice moves through themes of memory, time, connection, and
the inner landscape, tracing the echoes of lived experience. Through layered surfaces and shifting forms, her practice evokes a deep awareness of the self and the transient nature of reality. She invites the viewer into a state of reflection—attuned to the invisible currents that move beneath the surface of consciousness and memory.


Themes: Transience, presence, longing, permanence, impermanence, distance, time, reflection, cycles, symbolism,  symmetry


She received a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design

Based in Brooklyn, NY
