The Artists.
Luis Jiménez
Jiménez is an artist who believes in the self-realization of being. He has a special connection with meditation, which he feels guides his creative process. Blending a distinct personal style with hints of eccentricity, the pieces pay homage to his ancestors and homeland traditions.
Ishani
Mexican painter, meditation monk, architect and awkward winker. Every brushstroke holds a clue illuminating the path of any soul. My art serves as a gentle reminder that life can be a celebration, and we are all interconnected. It nudges us to embrace existence wholeheartedly.
Hampton Rodríguez
The focus of my work captures the idiosyncratic culture of Portland’s diverse neighborhoods; the cadence of people’s lives there, the scenes of cultural clashes, Urban vs. Rural. And the development of images that tap into shared concepts and feelings.
