Jimenez, who resides in this eastern Cuban city, told the Cuban news
agency that the exhibit will open late this month or in early July with
ten works, including engravings and screenprinting, and other artistic
techniques, which mainly portray feminine images, and a combination of
reality and fantasy in a surrealistic ambiance. Most works by Jimenez are
marked by Cuban native and traditional elements.

During her latest visit to the U.S., the Cuban artist worked in the
preparations of the Newark exhibit and also offered a three-day training
in a Miami public school, where she advised a group of students in
painting medieval scenes, as part of their school curriculum.

Martha Jimenez has exhibited her works in the United States previously,
in the cities of New York and Boston. She has also made working visits to
the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Chile, Canada, France and Turkey.

Jimenez’s works were awarded a prize at the Havana International Crafts
Fair by the UN Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO), and
other distinctions in artistic contests in China and Turkey.

Martha Jimenez was initially known for her ceramic works, though she is
more popular in the fields of painting, engraving and other visual art
modalities.
