ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I had the opportunity to see an exhibition of a Venezuelan artist called Carlos Cruz-Diez. The exhibition took place in a gallery called Galleria Continua in San Gimignano, Italy. His works are about colours and how we experience them. His works are very calculated and almost scientific in his approach. He is one of the pioneers of kinetic art. This was my first time seeing his work in a gallery even though I’m from Venezuela as well. This piece is a reaction to and/or inspired by the exhibition. His work being very methodic, the hands of the artist are not visible and because of this I wanted to do this drawing where my hand is visible; making it more human and natural. Another reason for this is to complement the pine tree in the centre. Since the exhibition was held in San Gimignano which is on the top of a hill, you can see the hills and these types of pine trees surrounding the city.

Jose F Jimenez was born in Venezuela in 1986. Having grown up close to the sea and surrounded by mountains, his love for nature grew tremendously. Jose was raised within a society that has a small approval for the arts. In his very home, his family was completely against him pursuing any sort of artistic career. However, at the age of twenty, he began to learn the basics of working with metals, making jewelry. This opened the doors for his artistic journey. After five years working with jewelry, he decided to leave Venezuela to pursue a university degree as a jewelry maker. Once in Toronto, Canada, Jose had a major encounter, which would change his life. Working as a volunteer in an art studio, he tried painting for the very first time and fell in love with it. At that very moment, Jose decided to change from the Jewelry Program to Drawing and Painting. In 2018, he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Drawing and Painting from OCAD University in Toronto. Far from home, he began to explore his own life and memories. All his encounters with nature and his childhood memories began to take form as landscape paintings. Also, a great part of his inspiration comes from traveling to other countries, exploring new landscapes. Jose is currently living and working in Florence, Italy.
