Hernán Giménez Betancourt

Hernan Gimenez was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on January 6, 1964. He studied music, fine arts, architecture, graphic design, photography, contemporary dance and ballet. Professionally he worked as a designer for ballet, graphic and photographer. Hernan always felt he was a creative syncretic, and saw the product of his work as the result of the merger of the arts to which he devoted much of his life. In Caracas he studied music, art, architecture and design, and classical and contemporary dance. No wonder, then, that his photos are a compendium of all the talents that his artistic soul has managed to develop separately. The Gimenez Hernan's male nude photos have as leitmotif the teenager. A teenage from other times, crackled and repeated as an evanescent thaumaturgy, able to shake our imagination. Many of his chaste models remind us of those immortalized heroes on Greek vases and bowls, that the dust of time left virtually intact, and now are, confined in our deepest memory.
