Francisco "Pancho" Jiménez
C e r a m i c S c u l p t u r e
Francisco "Pancho" Jiménez was born in New York City and
raised in Santa Clara, California. Working in clay, he creates
compelling sculptures that range from intimate pieces to those of
an architectural scale. His thoughtful work stems from his
fascination with forms and desire to capture the mystery of
meaning.
Driven by the need to explore clay to the utmost possibility,
Pancho creates organic forms that meet geometric forms to
converse in a fluid language of sculpture.
Pancho's love of clay began when he was a child and has
remained his primary medium throughout his artistic
explorations. He is drawn to the physical aspect of the material
- a malleable and versatile medium - and the historical aspect of
clay - a material that has been used for hundreds of thousands
of years. Pancho views the material as a gateway to a
contemplative place where creativity comes alive and flourishes.
Intrigued by ancient and pre-Columbian art forms, Pancho
creates sculptures that transmit the past to the present in a
manner that is both timeless and contemporary. As is evident in
these sculptures, Pancho is drawn to and fascinated by the
forms of architecture and the geometrical aspects of drawing.
Pancho holds an MFA from San Francisco State University and
a BA in both Studio Art & History from Santa Clara University.
