El Monte is on view at @PAMM through March 22.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These shadow figures represent the Ibeyí, the divine twins within Cuban cosmology. They hold the paradox of twinhood, to be bound and divided at the same time. Titled One to Bind and One to Break, the sculptures stand over seven feet tall within 19th century French Gothic niches, greeting visitors at the entrance of the Twin Chapel. They mirror one another while reflecting the dualities embedded in Cuban identity and its syncretism.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be a twin is to discover yourself in the presence of another self. It is a lifelong negotiation between connection and autonomy, learning how to exist as an individual without ever fully becoming singular.

El Monte (The Wilderness) is the culmination of two years of the most challenging and meaningful work we’ve ever done. For those unfamiliar—Lydia Cabrera was a Cuban ethnographer who documented Afro-Cuban religions on the island. Our exhibition takes its name from her book, a text that preserved traditions once discarded and discouraged, becoming a source of inspiration for future generations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What began as telling the story of El Monte became a journey inward, realizing through this process that El Monte was the framework to share our own journey; it became our wilderness, a place tucked away deep inside us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we grow older, a natural distance occurs between where we come from and where we’re going. This work reminded us that what we inherit isn’t always ours to choose, but like nature, we find ways to adapt, transform, and heal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s a Cuban saying that goes “one tree does not make a forest.” It takes many trees. To everyone who helped bring this to life, thank you. We never take for granted any opportunity we have to grow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve read this far, we sincerely hope you can join us for this opening on August 28th at @pamm!

@badbunnypr for our @time cover story! [screaming in non-english] wearing @willychavarrianewyork and @__venedacarter ✝️
TIME’s first ever all Spanish cover.
Arguably, one of the most influential pop artists of our time whose fusion of Latin genres in music have broken down barriers right through mainstream media, all while challenging traditional notions of masculinity within a culture oftentimes plagued with machismo.
Gracias @dilysng for the opportunity to art direct and photograph this project, our first cover— bringing all the elements of painterly romanticism and Caribbean spirituality that makes our work. And thank you to our wonderful team!

🕯️Opening Today: Spinello Projects presents What We Are Becoming, a solo booth by Cuban-American twin photography duo, Elliot & Erick Jiménez at The Armory Show—Focus Sector (Booth F1), curated by Maria Elena Ortiz
Elliot & Erick Jiménez are identical twin artists whose practice draws from photography, mixed media, sculpture, and installation to construct immersive worlds that explore memory, migration, spirituality, and the fluid nature of identity. Rooted in their experience as first-generation Cuban Americans and informed by Afro-Caribbean cosmologies, their work brings together Lucumí traditions, Western iconography, and art historical references to create a dialogue where inherited histories and contemporary experience converge.
This new body of work marks the artists’ first major series following El Monte, their debut solo museum exhibition at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Rather than departing from the questions that shaped that exhibition, these works represent a subtle evolution, one that shifts attention from the search for identity toward the continual process of transformation.
As first-generation Cuban Americans raised within an Afro-Cuban household, they have long grappled with the experience of belonging simultaneously to inherited and imagined homelands. While physically removed from the island, they continue to negotiate the traditions, stories, and spiritual lineages passed down. In this sense, these works inhabit an interior landscape—one that holds ancestry, memory, and identity in constant dialogue.
Across the series, the anonymous figures that have long occupied the Jiménez brothers’ visual language begin to undergo subtle yet profound changes. Shadow bodies dissolve into flowers, others emerge in luminous white, or exist suspended between fire, the natural world, and ritual. Rather than functioning as fixed symbols, these figures inhabit states of becoming, resisting singular definitions and stable identities. Their transformation mirrors the layered realities of Caribbean culture itself, where histories of migration, syncretism, adaptation, and survival have continually reshaped notions of self and belonging.

Ophelia on Fire (2026) is part of a series that began with our reimagining of John Everett Millais’ Ophelia (1852) at @pamm as Ochún, the deity of love, fertility, rivers, and mother of the Ibeyí (twins), as our protagonist, and now continues through the four elements as emotional states.
Our retelling of Ophelia when she cast herself into the river becomes a story of surrender transformed into renewal and rebirth. In this particular work, fire becomes a stage of grief, embodying rage and passion while also carrying the possibility of transformation. Ophelia emerges from red, flame-like fabric, appearing both consumed by the fire and reborn from it.

Insane to think that one year ago today, our first museum solo exhibition, El Monte, opened at @pamm 😱!!!
As we prepare to share a new body of work (the first since El Monte), we’ve found ourselves thinking a lot about this exhibition and how much of what we’re doing now began there.
El Monte pushed us beyond what was familiar in our practice.
It was a place to experiment more freely with materials, objects, sculpture, installation, and with the ways photography could continue beyond the image itself.
So many things we were trying for the first time then have since become part of our artistic language.
As artists, we spend so much time close to the work that it can be difficult to step far enough from it to understand what it is becoming.
One of the greatest gifts of El Monte was being able to open that world to other people and then watch it become something beyond us.
We met people who returned to the exhibition more than once.
People who saw pieces of their own histories in it,
and others whose lives and cultures were completely different from ours but who still found a way into the work.
There was something powerful about realizing that the more personal we allowed the work to become, the more universal it felt.
A year later, we’re still processing what this exhibition gave us.
In many ways, the conclusion of the show was really the beginning of a new chapter.
Forever grateful to everyone who helped us build this world—
to our curator @maritzamelania for her friendship and dedication,
to those who have supported our career, to the artists who came before us and continue to inspire us, to everyone who trusted us enough to take these risks with us,
to @spinelloprojects for holding our hands through it all,
and to all of you who stepped inside this world with us. 🤍
And most importantly, to our grandmother. Whose sacrifices and dedication to us and our family are the reason we get to do what we do today. We hold onto our traditions thanks to her.
Happy one year, El Monte. You took more from us than we expected. You gave us more than we knew to ask for.

For the cover of ELLE Magazine (@elleusa), twin artist duo Elliot & Erick Jiménez (@elliotanderick) shot Karol G (@karolg). The twins leaned on their signature painterly photography aesthetic to create a universe that encapsulated Karol. The universe was informed by magical realism, a literary and artistic style that blends everyday reality with fantastical, dreamlike elements treated as if they were perfectly ordinary.
They were especially interested in Gabriel García Márquez, the Colombian novelist widely considered the father of magical realism. Best known for “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” Márquez treated extraordinary events, ghosts, prophecies, characters who live for centuries, as unremarkable facts of daily life, blurring the line between the real and the fantastical. That same sensibility runs through the shoot: Karol G moves through scenes that feel mystical and dreamlike, yet are treated with the same ease and gravity as reality itself.
