Erick and Elliot Jiménez, first-gen Cuban-American twins, seamlessly blend heritage and experience in their photographic art. Their shadow figures, inspired by religious imagery, create a unique atmosphere. From Myspace days to a solo NYC exhibition, their work exudes a distinct style. Their latest piece, „Abre Camino/Open The Way,“ interprets the deity Elegguá from the Lucumí tradition. The twins‘ distinctive style, featuring anonymous subjects with captivating eyes, invites viewers into a world of mystery and symbolism. Stripping away distinctive features, they aim for universal relatability. Their creations, influenced by Catholic art and online imagery, merge photography with painting, offering a constructed world of allure and anonymity. Erick and Elliot’s collaborative journey is a fusion of art, history, and perspectives, breaking barriers between worlds.
