About the Artist
Jaime is a Spanish artist based in Zaragoza. His work is characterized by a certain obsessive tendency towards very careful and balanced composition and the chromatic play of bright colors, with a very personal touch inspired by the aesthetics of the 90s. His artistic maturity is increasingly minimalist, eliminating everything that does not contribute to the final meaning, sticking only to what can transmit on its own and is more disconnected from reality. A good example of this style is the work presented here.

His first exhibition was Live in Zaragoza (2014), at the Centro Cívico Delicias, a collection of photographs of concerts in Zaragoza. The second was Una de seis (2016), at the Cai Joaquín Roncal exhibition hall. It was his first approach to his father's illness: stroke. It was followed by Retuerta (2018, Las Armas), with a series of images that sought to recreate the sensations of the book of the same name by author Jorge Omeñaca. The last one was “Diary in a waiting room” (2021), in which he portrayed the loneliness of hospitals from his personal point of view. Finally, as a member of the artistic Duo, He presented the art project 'De Memoris' (photo book, 2022) and 'Gamopolis' (a project that pursued to represent the gamification of the urban architecture').
