ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In 2022, I visited a town in Italy called Cervinara. I went with my father in-law who was born there and it was his first time back after 36 years. The trip was full of stories of his youth and past generations. Cervinara is full of history. However, a small part of the population is young and thriving for a bright future. In this painting I intended to talk about the duality of the past and the future. The past is being represented by the mountain. A mountain that has stood there for millions of years seeing generations passed and absorbing all the knowledge that comes with years of living. The mountain has a great presence in the painting because it is the accumulation of history and knowledge from the past that allows us to move into the future. The future is being represented by the young trees in the foreground. They are just starting to grow and have a future ahead of them. The foreground is also the brightest part of the painting to represent the hope for a brighter future.

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.
