Entes Embroidered Hat

Joan Jiménez “Entes” is a Peruvian artist living between Lima and Miami, whose work is rooted in the lived realities, memories, and cultural energies of the street, or barrio. A graduate of Escuela Superior De Bellas Artes Corriente Alterna in Plastic Arts, Jiménez’s multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, printmaking, and urban interventions. His work celebrates Latin American and Afro-descendant communities, reflecting on migration, collective resilience, and the emotional landscapes that define neighborhood life. For over twenty-five years, Jiménez has engaged the city as both a site of creation and a source of knowledge. His early practice in graffiti and muralism shaped his understanding of public space as a space of dialogue in an open arena where identity, belonging, and social tension become visible.
