About Me
Jaimenworld is my art website, and Ben Jaimen is what I claim my name to be, I’m an artist driven by a passion for creating magical, mysterious, and sometimes slightly off-kilter works of art. My art is guided by a deep fascination with the colors and moods found in the natural and urban landscapes, and the super-mesmerizingness (long words are clever) of a city at dusk. Through my work, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder, inviting viewers to step into the scenes I create and explore the emotions and stories within them.
My Artistic Process
My approach to art is both intuitive and fluid. I often begin with a loose, water-laden wash, allowing the paint to flow and the composition to develop organically. Rather than getting caught up in the details early on, I let the piece take shape naturally, gradually refining it as I go. One of my favorite techniques is using a sharp tool to scrape off layers of paint, creating ultra-thin lines that add depth and texture to my work—something that a traditional brush simply can’t achieve.
The Role of Colour
Color is at the heart of my work. I have a natural instinct for color selection, and I often find myself drawn to a vibrant palette that spans from deep purples to rich oranges, including bold magentas. My goal is always to create paintings that are as colorful and visually stimulating as possible, inviting viewers to experience the energy and emotion that each piece holds.
Themes and Motifs
Throughout my work, you’ll find recurring symbols and motifs that hold deep significance for me. From impossible geometries to expansive crescent moons, dancing figures, and magical lighting, these elements are a reflection of both my imagination and the serendipity of abstract creation. Whether I’m pulling figures from the chaos of random forms or exaggerating the elements of a real-life scene, my art is a concentrated version of the inspiration that drives it.
Connecting With You
What I hope to achieve through my art is a genuine connection with you, the viewer. I want my work to resonate with you, to draw you into the scene, and to inspire you to imagine these pieces in your own space. Art, for me, is about enhancing the personality of a home, making it a place of beauty, wonder, and reflection.
Staying Inspired
Maintaining my creative momentum is essential, and I make it a point to engage with art every day. Whether it’s working on a small, loosely executed still life or sharing my works in progress on social media, I find that these daily practices keep me motivated and open to new ideas. The feedback and encouragement I receive from friends and followers are invaluable, fueling my drive to continue creating.
