San José, Costa Rica, August 3rd, 2024

Promoting Costa Rica’s rich cultural heritage, Mírame Fine Art connects artists with art lovers worldwide. The premier online Costa Rican art #gallery, dedicated to promoting the nation’s finest artists, now includes the paintings of Aimée Joaristi.

A Journey Through “Cursed Poems”

The Costa Rican art exhibition “Cursed Poems” features over 50 artworks from the past five years, marking a pivotal moment in both Costa Rica’s art scene and Joaristi's career. The show featured an array of her multidisciplinary works, including painting, installation, photography, and video art. Notable series such as “Flowers of Evil” and “Umbrias” were displayed alongside symbolic installations like “The #Lighthouse” and “Vertebral”' many of which had never been seen before in Costa Rica.

Themes and Influences

Born in #Havana in 1957 and raised in Spain, Joaristi’s Cuban heritage and connection with nature are central to her artistic practice. Nestled in the lush hills surrounding her studio near San José, she draws inspiration from the Costa Rican landscape, infusing her compositions with raw vitality and organic beauty.

Joaristi’s oeuvre is driven by political consciousness and personal encounters, delving into themes such as the unconscious, the pandemic, transgression, Cuban migration, and female empowerment. She likens painting to attempting to “muddy the unattainable sky of the canvas”, creating a dialogue between her visual artistry and poetic sensibilities.

Significant Works and Style

Characterized by expressionist strokes, Joaristi’s canvases feature dramatic contrasts and pulsating colors, creating depth and visual narratives that reveal intricate details of faces, figures, objects, and architectural outlines. Her work often reflects echoes of nostalgia and wistful memories.

International Recognition

Joaristi is featured in various international public and private collections and her work has been exhibited globally. Notable exhibitions include the Biennial Contemporary Art SACO in Chile, the Bienal de La Habana in Cuba, the Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art, the Matadero in Madrid, and the University of Anahuac in Mexico City. In 2024, she will participate in the “Blind Date” exhibition in #Madrid, curated by Vicente Todolí, former director of the Tate Modern in London.
