About me:
"They say I am Too weird to live, and too rare to die, What ever that means lolz" =]]
Let's see My Name is Jaime Jimenez...On my personal work: "It is hard for me to discuss my own work; like your own handwriting, it is something that, at this point, is simply a part of me. People often ask me: 'What inspires you to paint?' or 'What's the meaning of your paintings?' Well, my work is mostly inspired by music, travel and personal experiences. Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a book story or simply be the expression in symbols of my inner feelings. In terms of technique, I generally work on canvas prepared with two coats of gesso. I do a pencil sketch on paper, then on the canvas before I start painting with oils and alkyds or acrylic.
Even though animation has helped me a lot in practicing my skills, my personal style is influenced by old schools like the Hudson River School, The Romantics and the European Symbolists for their grandiose, theatrical scenery; my style has also been shaped by contemporary artists like Sandorfi, Beksinski, Ugarte and The Visionaries (Les Visionnaires) in France. All of these I credit for their striking visions." I have now painted so much that my fingers have grown into paintbrushes"....To be successful, you have to be unique. So different, that if people want what you have, they have to come to you to get it" - Walt Disney
