Statement
Self-portrait has been a constant in Aimee´s work to talk about the universal feminine experience.
Although painting is her main medium, she likes to include other materials (hair, threads, metal, stones, newspaper and others) that allows her to establish a symbolic game, where the traditional and the contemporary interact. With the use of everyday objects she creates a discourse about
society's cultural, political and social environment. She has participated in several art biennials including, the 57th Venice Biennial, Havana Biennial, Kwangju Biennial, Cuenca Biennial and Painting Biennial of the Caribbean and Central America. Her work has been exhibited at José Luis Cuevas Museum, Mexico; Museum of Modern Art, Toluca, Mexico; Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami; The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, New York; Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation, New York; Arizona State University Art Museum, Arizona; Kunsthalle Rostock, Rostock, Germany.
