About Ana Jiménez
Taller sin Borde is the creative space of Ana María Jiménez, where she works between object, body, and space. Her practice is guided by slowness, presence, and a deep attention to the sensitive, the ancestral, and the experimental.
She studied Architecture and earned a Master’s in Fine Arts from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and trained in jewelry with various mentors in London, Barcelona, and Medellín.Her work has been exhibited and shared through talks and masterclasses in Colombia, the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
In her research line Volver al proceso (Return to the Process), she reconstructs pre-Hispanic goldsmithing techniques through artisanal methods and historical study. In the studio, she works with stone tools, clay molds for lost-wax casting, and alternative melting methods—opening a dialogue with the present through the body, the craft, and the material.
