Cecilia Jiménez Ojeda (b. 1982, Borås, SE) is educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo (MA, BA). She works with detailed and realistic pencil drawings, preferably based on photographs. The works often focus on details and sections that are normally beyond our attention. The drawings are often placed in larger scenographic and narrative constructions based on episodes, experiences and environments from her own life. The artist explores strong contrasts between the light and the dark. The contrasts, in conjunction with the chosen perspectives, give the drawings a mysterious atmosphere. Her focus on the technical and sophisticated style gives her drawings an aesthetic that resembles the photographs she takes as a starting point.
In 2019, Cecilia exhibited during the drawing triennial at Kunstnernes Hus. In 2021, she had a solo exhibition at Destiny's. In 2023, it is relevant to have a separate exhibition in the Artists' Association.
