Eli JIMENEZ LE PARC

Franco-Panamanian artist, born in 1954

 

Eli Jimenez Le Parc is a Franco-Panamanian artist born in 1954. She began her studies in screen printing at the “Arte dos Gráfico” workshop in Bogotá, Colombia, and went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Arts from the University of Panama. After an early career in graphic design, she turned her attention to fashion design and moved to France in 1987, where she created her own label, Arte Moda, offering clothing and accessories. In 2004, she collaborated with fashion houses such as Christian Lacroix and Kenzo for runway shows in Paris.

 

From 1988 onward, she began producing performances in public spaces in collaboration with artist Juan Le Parc—a partnership that spanned several years. Since then, she has developed a growing interest in contemporary art forms, increasingly engaging in the creation of her own installations and performances. Simultaneously, she studied Hatha Yoga (Van Lysebeth School) and wrote a thesis on the theme: Artistic Creativity in the Practice of Yoga. Through various techniques of meditation and concentration, her artistic research took on a spiritual dimension. Her work now invites introspection and sensory awakening through luminous Rosaces, Dreamcatchers, Mandalas, and Talismans inspired by sacred geometry. These creations evolved into immersive installations designed to open new perceptual spaces in which the observer and the observed object enter into communion.

 

As an artist, she also works as an art director for various cultural events in the city of Cachan, notably the Nuit Blanche in 2023 and 2024.

 

The Soul – The Body – The Spirit as Fields of Inquiry

Eli Jimenez Le Parc’s work is born of lived experience—woven with the threads of the past and enriched by the present. Her practice leads viewers on an intimate quest for renewal. Her installations aim to open up new perspectives, spaces of encounter where observer and object engage in silent dialogue. Each piece is conceived as a potentially infinite variation.

 

Thread is her primary medium, inspired by mandalas, dreamcatchers, and especially energetic Rosaces. Her artistic approach is founded on three pillars: sacred geometry, light, and sound, weaving together spirituality, art, and technology.

 

Since 2007, she has also collaborated closely with the artist Julio Le Parc.

 

 

Serie: Dissymmetry
Exhibition: Geometry-s – Galerie 38, Geneva

In this new series entitled Dissymmetry, Eli Jiménez Le Parc continues her pursuit of a visual language at the intersection of sacred geometry, light, and sound. Her painting, at once silent and resonant, draws upon these three dimensions to weave a subtle bridge between spirituality, art, and technology.

Reduced to a deliberately restrained palette—black, white, and grey—the work becomes a field of tension between clarity and obscurity, between the self-evident and the enigmatic. Black absorbs, white reveals, and grey binds, softening perception and opening interstices where the eye may wander and the spirit may rise.

Through dissymmetry, Eli challenges the too-perfect order of symmetry. She introduces irregularity as breath, as pulse, as fissure—an aperture where the gaze lingers. Geometry here is not rigid; it breathes, it moves, it listens.

Each canvas becomes a silent score, where forms and contrasts compose a visual music, inviting each viewer to interpret it through their own sensibility.
