artist Cruz Jimenez









Artist Cruz Jimenez is an American, now he is living and working in Auckland.

His paintings are very essentially abstract, always give the promiscuous feeling to me, they seem like veiled imagery but when you zoom in, tiny and detail still can be identified very clearly, some critics defined it as "ambiguity".

"This ambiguity allows the viewer to recognise more easily the  metaphor for human life which is developed through his pieces."

In his painting I can see something I always trying to do, the attractive directional strength which use to guide audiences' eye through point to point across the surface of artworks. He working largely in black and white with elements, personal style and it caused conceptual concern lead the depth and the movement if his practise. One of his conceptual idea also hold the same view of mine, "minimise can be striking".

His veiled paintings bring forth and intuitive understanding of the form being conveyed. He has a spectacular sense of wonder hidden objects which just below the surface of the recognised, the known, the everyday.
