Artist, Jaime Grant was bon and raised in Panama. In his 40’s he came
to realize that he suddenly had a creative drive to draw, paint and
sculpt. Jaime is a inspired by his family.
Jaime Grant’s work covers broad themes related to the human
experience and struggle. Themes like, historical situations, national and
international events, police brutality, are depicted with magic realist
tones grounded in surreal facades. Grant feels his purpose in society is
to make works that evoke a spiritual truth. Stating that he is continually
inspired God. On the day he turned 50, Jaime believed that he was
visited by a spirit who drove him to create more than 5000 paintings
and to build machines that reflected the dialectics of our contemporary
situation. His central message is to illustrate the struggle between good
and evil. Jaime is currently a member of Les Vagabonds collective, a
group of artists aiming to bridge the gap between the artist and the art
world.
