A sample of Jimi's work

Jimi uses a unique method in his work. Halfway between painting and sculpting, most of the design is made with the help of a razor blade, not spreading the colors but actually working on the surface.
The paintings below only are a recent selection of Jimi's work. Should you want to buy one of them, please click here.
