Artist Statement
“Jiménez creates monumental sculpture for major urban centers, stylized figures of cowboys and Indians, borderland Hispanics and high-plains sodbusters built of fiberglass and spray-painted in the vibrant, high-gloss colors of hot-rod cars. Drawing imagery straight from the red-blooded heart of American mythology, he evokes such fine art traditions as equestrian sculpture or the Pieta in a style reminiscent of Depression-era social realism and in a mode that might be termed heroic.” (- William Clark, Albuquerque Journal, 1989)
