Jimena Chávez Delion’s oeuvre spans a variety of mediums, including sculpture, video, drawing, and installation, in which she examines the complex interplay between material culture, marginalized experiences, and the influence of socioeconomic factors on daily life. Delion’s art is characterized by a heterogeneous dimension that is developed through the use of scraps, mistakes, and materials that imitate or embody other symbols and irregular patterns. Her work explores urban spaces as networks of ephemeral elements that hold both political and emotional significance, tracing the journey from informal exchange, insecurity, and precarity to the embodiment of otherness.

Through her installations, Chávez Delion seeks to engage with the viewer, promoting a critical awareness of the complex relationships between socioeconomic structures, materiality, and cultural production. By doing so, she underscores the potential of art to not only reflect but also to actively shape and transform the world we inhabit. ...
