Aimée Joaristi is a multidisciplinary artist born in Cuba (Havana, Cuba, 1957) who in her work seeks to explore “themes related to unconsciousness, ludic transgression, migration and women's vindication”.[1] Within her work one can find painting, installation, video art, photography and even performance, expressions used by artist to communicate various messages that are born and created from her intuition and self-exploration. [1]
Painting is her greatest strength, by this means she seeks to break with the strict artistic standards and schemes and promotes the very expression of emotions and human intuition that guides the soul of a person to translate it into art. Due to her constant migrations and the cultural knowledge to which she has been exposed, her work shows that multicultural sensitivity, accompanied by a vindication of women in society, beyond the social labels that they possess.
She has extensive participation in individual and collective exhibitions, as well as in literary publications and conferences in various parts of the world. Some of her works are in both public and private collections in countries such as Cuba, Chile, Latvia, Spain, Costa Rica, France, Mexico and United States. [1] [2]
Biography
First years of life: Cuba and Spain
Aimée was born in Havana, Cuba where she spent time with her family, however, due to the beginning of the Cuban Revolution of 1959, her family decided to move to Miami and later, they went into exile in Madrid, Spain, where her paternal grandparents and maternal great-grandparents were from, when she was two and a half years old,[3] approximately. During her stay in this country, she was familiar with art, from a very young age, accompanied by her uncle, she always visited museums and galleries in the city, as well as various cultures, towns and buildings that she learned from her parents throughout Europe. .[4] One of her first emotional encounters with art, she owes to Salvador Dalí, an artist with whom she identified from an early age due to the understanding of the surrealism of her work. At the age of 17, she began her studies in interior architecture in Madrid and later, in the 1980s, at the age of 20, she decided to study graphic design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where she travels with the aim of acquiring new life experiences.[4]
Youth: New York and Milan
Being in New York, while studying graphic design and in the midst of the sociocultural context of Big Apple, exposed to various areas such as fashion, advertising, pop culture and other visual stimuli of the city, se was able to perfect her art and understanding of it.[4] At this time she had the opportunity to share with various artists with whom she learned and with whom to this day she remembers living a series of nocturnal adventures that contributed to her training.[3]
In Milan she dedicated himself to working in the fashion world of Prêt-a-porter and as interior designer, which years later it motivated her to open her architecture and interior design studio in Costa Rica. As in other past experiences of international migration, hes stay in Milan was a significant contribution to her career speaking from empiricism and from areas other than art itself.[5]
Aimée fully into art
Due to the proximity of her professions of graphic design and interior architecture, Aimée was always linked to art, but it was not until 2008 when, due to the world economic crisis and her existentialist desire to innovate and transcend, who decides to delve completely into art. From that moment and to the present day, she has maintained a constant creative process, from painting to installation and more, always with a relationship between each of her works, since, as she herself affirms, her “works are strung with each other, creating a conscious and unconscious fabric, both of my realities and those of the world.”[4]
Nowadays
In Aimée's artistic practice, many of her works tend to be developed in parallel, so many of her projects are continuous processes. As an example of this, since 2020 the artist has been developing a work called “Cayados” is made up of 13 canes sculpted in ceramics and a video art that establishes a game of relationship between fragility and strength. This was born after an accident that she had at the beginning of 2020 where her spine was affected and where she seeks to symbolize certain emotions and some very significant events that she went through in her life during that same year. [4] One of her first emotional encounters with art, she owes to Salvador Dalí, an artist with whom she identified from an early age due to the understanding of the surrealism of her work. At the age of 17, she began her studies in interior architecture in Madrid and later, in the 1980s, at the age of 20, she decided to study graphic design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where she travels with the aim of acquiring new life experiences.[4]
Featured art projects
Tres cruces (2018)
This work recounts a tragic event that occurred in Costa Rica on April 6, 1986, seven women were raped and murdered after participating in a pilgrimage activity in La Cruz de Alajuelita. The crime of case of La Cruz de Alajuelita has not been clarified to date nor has anyone linked to the crimes been publicly prosecuted. For this work, the artist makes a reflection that connects with the languages of her previous work and where abstraction and landscape guide the viewer through the geography of the event.[4][6]
…The place was very close to me both because of its location in the Cerros de San Miguel of Escazú where I live, and because it is the destination for morning walks where I start my day. Without further ado, and in search of images (...) to articulate this project, I threw myself voraciously on the mountain, armed with a camera, a cane, and water. I went up without thinking about the effort. I only thought about the meaning I should give to this fact and how to "appropriate" a tragic moment, ruled by the pain of others, to translate that experience through the language of art.[6]
Tres Cruces, is a video installation complemented with painting and photography, mixing traditional art and technology, it is made up of three scenes or spaces that seek to show the gender violence that surrounded this event. In addition, it is accompanied by a video art that shows the crime zone from a more real and current view, but with the purpose of remembering the suffering that the victims went through.
This work was exhibited at the Museo C.A.V. La Neo-Mudejar in Madrid.[6]
