Jaime Grant

Panama

“I make paintings that are filled with spiritual messages, for the future.”

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.
