JACKIE
COLE
I am a self-taught artist driven by a deep passion for creativity and artistic expression in all its forms.
Born in Mexico City and raised on the coast of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz,
I have lived in different places especially along touristic coastlines experiences that have profoundly shaped my artistic vision. I currently reside in Mérida, Yucatán, a vibrant and culturally rich environment that continuously inspires my work.
Each project I undertake becomes an opportunity to tell unique stories and build meaningful connections with the audience. The cultural richness of the Yucatán Peninsula deeply influences my artistic language, adding authenticity and depth to my perspective. I enjoy collaborating with other artists and exploring new artistic territories, always seeking innovation and striving to leave a lasting impression.
My work explores movement and dynamic forces, inviting viewers to interpret each piece in their own personal and unique way. I approach textures, techniques, and color with a playful and intuitive spirit.
I work with a wide range of materials, including oil, acrylic, ink, collage, wood, canvas, paper, photography, and immersive installation. One of my most significant projects, Cubo Libre, is an interactive installation that transforms space into a participatory experience.
Through structure, light, and collective interaction, Cubo Libre invites the public to reflect on freedom, perception, and shared presence, turning spectators into active participants.
This diversity of mediums allows me to express multiple forms and ideas throughout my creative process.
Ultimately, my work seeks to create a profound connection with the natural world while encouraging
dialogue between space, body, and emotion.

STUDIO
Trained across diverse media, I have developed a profound connection with painting particularly abstract art which has become central to my artistic practice. Alongside painting, photography plays an essential role in my creative exploration, allowing me to capture fleeting moments, textures, and subtle narratives from the natural and human landscape.
Through a fluid and intuitive approach, I explore a playful dialogue between textures, techniques, and materials such as oil, acrylic, ink, collage, wood, canvas, paper, and photography. Each medium offers a distinct language, expanding the possibilities of expression within my work.
With every gesture, brushstroke, and captured image, I seek to convey emotions and reflections that often transcend words. Abstract art enables me to access the subconscious, creating compositions of form, movement, and color that invite personal interpretation. Photography, in turn, becomes a way of observing reality framing light, shadow, and detail as extensions of my inner vision.
Each piece represents an ongoing inner journey a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, the tangible and the ethereal. Deeply inspired by nature, my work reflects a strong connection to the environment and explores the delicate relationship between humanity and the natural world.
I am fascinated by the moment when the viewer engages with the work and discovers their own meaning within it. In that exchange—where perception meets intention the artwork expands beyond itself, and the viewer becomes a co-creator of the experience. It is within this shared space that I find the true magic of art.
