About this artwork

This work is inspired by the early natural history dioramas created by Carl Akeley in 1889 for the American Museum of Natural History in New York. These innovative installations combined taxidermy, stagecraft, and painting to create immersive experiences that educated the public about the natural world.
The original dioramas used a sophisticated compositional technique: figures at different distances, painted backgrounds that created perspective,… and careful lighting that created the illusion of looking through a window into a real habitat.
This piece adopts that visual structure, using the square format as a museum "window," framed by the golden railing and characteristic blue lighting. However, the specimens have been replaced by plastic balloon animals, creating a contemporary diorama that reflects on the presence of plastic in today's ecosystems.

Sofía Cristina Jiménez primarily uses acrylic on linen, watercolor on Arches paper, and graphite, cultivating her training through artistic research and experimentation in her own studio. She employs a style that oscillates between colorful surrealism and contrasting techniques: free, gestural brushwork combined with meticulous detail, obsessed with volume and light. Her works convey a vibrant emotional universe, where the human and the animal intertwine to evoke fragility, resilience, and a shining hope in the face of life's opposites.
