Nicolas Maximillion Jimenez
Self taught artist raised in the violent streets of East Palo Alto California. Born to a Native American / mixed-race Mexican family, he escaped drugs and violence thru art during a time when his adolescent neighborhood was the murder capital of the U.S. He describes his art; “I’m most inspired by my family. All my work is dedicated to them. My art is straight ‘hood’ and it also glimmers with hope. I like duality. All my work has two sides to it. It’s analog, it's digital and it's Religious, and sexual. It’s both danger and yet sometimes designer...” With a background in architecture, photography, music and film, Nic has developed many brand elements as a Creative Director for Vintage Electric Bikes, Roseshire, SSCustoms, eGarage, gold Rush Rally and L4P.com. His projects portfolio include; Disney, Tesla, Neiman Marcus, Vans, Mercedes-Benz, X-Box and instagram. For 2021 Nicolas continues to revolve as an artist having a broad range of styles ranging from surrealism to pop-art while brandishing his street-style with contemporary themes and mixed media elements. He also continues to explore music with his daughters' LEEZY albums as co-producer and art director. ""My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style." - Maya Angelou
