“This work fits into a series of open head sculptures I have been exploring. A seemingly infinite way of imagining what is behind the layers of a person. This piece in particular is an appreciation of an inner quiet strength that exists in people.” – Jaime Molina
About the Artist:
Jaime Molina is an artist based in Denver, Colorado. Working initially with printmaking then moving into painting, murals and in recent years, sculpture, Molina tells tales of characters that, to varying degrees, represent his family and friends. They also portray people and their habits in general – a loose play on our own existence. His work has a fascinating narrative to it. This world he has created continues to become larger, and with his more recent sculptural works, the characters he’s created are moving into the dimensional realm. Built out of anything and everything at hand, they echo traditional folk techniques and ideas, with a modern twist.
