A catamaran, which deviates quite a bit from the models initially used in the creation of this pictorial exhibition, was my way of rising to the surface after that necessary but painful dive into disconsolate waters.

That's how it is. After the catharsis represented by the work "The Esmeralda Contemplating Valparaíso in Flames," my soul needed a cry for life, color, and freedom. This is how this work came about, "Catamaran at Sunset."

A colorful catamaran sailing through the Baltic Sea while the evening light paints the clouds red, orange, yellow, and gold represents the promise of a better future, hope, and life.

To create this work, I based it on several models that I later fused into a unique creation, highlighting the contrast and power of precise lines.

Maria Jimena Navarro

María Jimena Navarro is a Chilean painter, holding a Bachelor's degree in Plastic Arts from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. She was a distinguished student of renowned Chilean artists such as Hernán Miranda, Gonzalo Cienfuegos, and Roser Bru.

Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, both in Chile and abroad, including Guatemala, the United States, and Costa Rica, where she has lived with her family since 2015.

With a distinctly Expressionist style, incorporating color to varying degrees, she has dedicated herself to capturing everyday life in a figurative manner, exploring themes that hold personal significance in both imagery and emotional weight. These themes include urban landscapes, the human figure, and the depiction of horses—portrayed as objects in constant motion, expressing their strength and imbued with vibrant color.

María Jimena’s painting is an invitation to pause and feel, to remember, or to let ourselves be carried away. It is a tribute to life, reminding us that, ultimately, life is lived in color.

In 2022, she ventured into professional writing for the first time, participating in the "César Vidal Christian Novel Award" by The Agustin Agency with her work "Colombina y la Sonrisa de Dios" (Colombina and the Smile of God).
