Ezequiel Jimenez

Painter

Ezequiel Jiménez, is a New York based artist and cultural activist. He has born in the Dominican Republic. Mr. Jimenez began painting at the age of 12, finding in art a mode of self-expression that was free of the censorship of conventional thought and opinion. In 1995, Mr. Jiménez attended the Art Students League of New York. 1998-2007 Jimenez studied digital arts and digital design at the City University of New York/Bronx Community College-Lehman College. And also took painting classes with prof. Rosidalia García at the Casa de Arte in Santiago. A major figure of the “Caribbean Baroque” school, his art wrestles with the fundamental conflicts of the human spirit. For Jimenez, art and the artist are embedded in everyday life: in the suffering, aspirations and triumphs of humankind. Art provokes, nourishes and stretches the imagination, revealing the landscape of human possibility. Jimenez is a founding member and the president of the Alliance of Dominican American Visual Artists, Inc. based in New York City. He has appeared in over 20 television and radio shows. And his art is widely reviewed in New York and DR press.
