The sickness of the Soul of Ezequiel Jimenez
The visual proposal of Jiménez is coherent
and clear, it neither has zigzags, nor invokes to doubts. The use of
the colors, the force that it prints, and especially the way of mixing
the geometric thing with the soft lines and the human forms, says to
us that the artist realizes well what it wants to express, and that's
why, immediately, we surprise it... •CODEX,

Domini / Cultural Supplement
In this edition we have wanted to do honor
to an artist, consecrated, refined cigar, inside the scopes of his own
academic formation; it is a question of the painter Ezequiel Jiménez,
who with his titled exhibition Illnesses of Alma, constituted the central
figure of 4to Festival of Audubon Partnership,... In the graph of front
of this edition of Domini Ezequiel Jiménez along with one of
his pictures, not only it adorns us, but the soul makes us happy and
honors us. Jiménez constitutes one of the names more representative
of the best Dominican painting in the United States. His style stretches
it to the abstract figurative thing, but that deeper plastic concept,
that good use of the colors, that "significance" in the middle
of vistosidad and policromía...

An abstract painter of the humanity
The colors burst in the supernova, an enormous
mass of forms, and finished images by half. The mind of the spectator
tries to identify forms. The eye captures the recognizable ones. But
the artist has provided few recognizable keys: his point is to do that
every observer does his proper conclusions... •Manhattan

The obsession of the color
in painting of Ezequiel Jiménez
...It is in 1995 that it aims at this radical
change in his painting. It is obvious in the pictures of this period,
when it takes as an assault the enrevesamiento of the Caribbean baroque:
the obsession of the green in his multiple changes, the blue one as
spilt sap, yellow desolated and the red one with his torturantes and
threatening violence's. It does not present such colors as tracing of
the nature, but transformed in pincelazos vivenciados, and across a
subjective sensuality..
