Clotilde Jiménez (born 1990) is a multi-disciplinary American artist who works with ceramics, collage, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.[1][2] His work's common themes, include blackness, gender, masculinity, and sexuality. Jiménez lives and works in Mexico City.

Life and career[edit]

Jiménez was born in 1990 in Honolulu to Puerto Rican and African-American parents.[3][4] His father was a body builder and would go on to influence aspects of his work.[5][6]

He was raised in a poor neighborhood in Philadelphia. He attended Charter High School for Architecture + Design, a now defunct school that gave opportunities to at-risk kids with creative ambitions.[7]

In 2013, he earned a BFA in printmaking from the Cleveland Institute of Art, and 2018 a MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London.[4][8] Most recently, in early 2023, he was selected as one of the artists to illustrate and give life to the Artistic Posters for the Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games.

Jiménez works closely with the esteemed art dealer Mariane Ibrahim and is represented by her gallery.[9][10]
