Bronze

Costa Rican artist, Jorge Jiménez Deredia, has taken Rome by storm with his 60 piece work placed at various ancient historical locations, such as the Forum and Coliseum. The artist has much more in mind, however, than just a display of art. His major motivation is to send a message of harmony and peace to the world. Authorities assure that allowing this 54 year old Costa Rican artist to display his work in such a manner is a first for Rome. The exhibit is part of a wider plan by Deredia that he calls La Ruta de la Paz (or, route to the peace). The idea is for these works of art, which represent the spiritual values of the indigenous peoples, to bring a message of peace and harmony throughout the western world, starting with Rome, the focal point of western civilization. Rodrigo Arias, minister to the president of Costa Rica, as well as his brother, viewed the exhibit in Rome and commented on the importance to understand that what Deredia is representing must be a common motivation for all human beings and that all Costa Ricans should take time to recognize and value the enormous dimensions of this Costa Rican artist's important work.

Jorge Jiménez Martínez was born in October 1954 in Heredia, Costa Rica. Over the 30 years of his activity, the artist has carved and turned melted bronze in monumental art works for museums and public places in 11 different European countries, Asia, United States of America and Latina America. He has held 34 personal exhibitions and over 100 collective exhibitions. His works are on puclic display in many cities such as New York, Miami, Rome. Paris, Monterrey, London, Lima, San Salvador, Managua, Murcia, Panama City and, of course, San José in Costa Rica.
